Your post seems to be assuming that if it is the S3D you only need to come for half the week. Given that the split is either days 1,2 and 5 or days 3,4 and 6 then that isn't the case, you're either there Sunday - Friday or Tuesday - Saturday. Ok, if you're doing Tue - Sat you might want to cancel a couple of days accommodation but I'm guessing the vast majority would want to come anyway and enjoy the mountains for a couple of days. That's what I'll be doing.
Correct, it affects 50% of the people. Not calling it early (S6D or S3D) puts the 2nd group in more a "hanging on" position that others.
Days 1, 2 & 5 are around for the lot.
Days 3, 4 & 6 is shorter in the area.
For myself, I would sacrifice Day 5 and return south/elsewhere early than "hanging around" for 3 days.
The S3D days split..
1, 2 & 5 -
1st Aug - Day 1
2nd Aug - Day 2
3rd Aug - Rest Day
4th Aug - Rest Day
5th Aug - Rest Day
6th Aug - Day 5
3, 4 & 6 -
3rd Aug - Day 3
4th Aug - Rest Day
5th Aug - Day 4
6th Aug - Rest Day
7th Aug - Day 6
Current S3D, maybe S6D split..
1, 2 & 5 -
1st Aug - Day 1
2nd Aug - Day 2
3rd Aug - Rest Day / Maybe Day 3
4th Aug - Rest Day
5th Aug - Rest Day / Maybe Day 4
6th Aug - Day 5
7th Aug - Rest Day / Maybe Day 6
3, 4 & 6 -
1st Aug - Rest Day / Maybe Day 1
2nd Aug - Rest Day / Maybe Day 2
3rd Aug - Day 3
4th Aug - Rest Day
5th Aug - Day 4
6th Aug - Rest Day / Maybe Day 5
7th Aug - Day 6
The red can be removed by calling the S3D early.
Apologies for the long post
