This is starting to sound like the George Costanza book-in-the-bathroom flagged episode.
I don't know, but I have had great luck calling and having requests accommodated. This last time I needed an approval for extension, so I had to work directly with them. I was booked to go early December, which was already just over a year from the Black Diamond Tricoat arriving, and it conflicted with a church obligation I simply did not want to miss. I was ready to pass on Spring Mountain if they could not extend me. But GM did approve an extension, and when the permission came in, I was quickly put into a terrific Friday-Saturday February spot, and in fact completed the class 2+ weeks ago. I did not have to do the respond fast to the email game, maybe because I was already past the 12 month window.
I'm sure you have tried calling, and who knows why they can't get you in a class. It is amazing experience, and well worth the effort to get booked and complete the class. This last trip was my third, and easily the best of the bunch (I had a headcold on the last visit, that is NOT fun!).
