If they go to a computerized system will they then take the on-line applications, print them out, put them into the big box, throw them down the stairs and mix them with a leaf blower?
LOL just kidding: I too am looking forward to a quicker system since I need to make airplane reservations and this 8 week process is killing me. I assume an online process would be more similar to registering for a college course rather than a lottery, perhaps even with waitlists? Hopefully the Whitney association can get some insight into the program design.
My top Whitney 2011 choice is September but I'll take August or July also so I cannot purchase tickets until I know which date and when, or if I lost, and so would do a different backpack trip in the Sierras in September possibly exiting via Whitney.
