Help needed with Marlboro contest question

#15 Is driving me crazy. It seems like it should be so easy but I have looked and looked. I am going to throw my ideas out there and see if someone else has any leads.

These winter digs (snowy?) are one Block (block of ice; igloo?) away from a gondola (ski lift?), and they redefine the term "room and board."
(Bed & Breakfast?) (or to "board" a ship, train, etc.?)

I found Betty's Igloo Bed & Breakfast in Nome, Alaska but didnt find anything to support the "gondola" part.

A gondola is also the passenger component of a Ferris wheel. I was looking for "something" one block away from a county fair or something.

what does a Ferris wheel have to do with winter digs? Winter digs is referring to a place to stay. Look up Colorado winter digs. See what you get there. Look for something in Veil Co area. Or even the Telluride area.

Sorry, just trying to look up too many at once and my head is all jumbled.

Also, I dont know how to use this forum, so hope I am doing this right.

For clue #8, I have been going over this and over this and I have come up with U2 (who was inspired by Joshua Tree Park/Desert), and Gram Parsons (who was cremated in Joshua Tree desert). The part I don't get is the last part of the clue, "the name of the hard rock head that sits empty among it all".

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I see you all have a ton of answers; I only have 3 definites, lol. I just started not too long ago, but if I can help anyone in anyway I sure will try.

this is what I came up with, the (Gram Parsons thing) I think the thing that is bothering me the most is the clue says that "the hard rock head sits empty among it". I am thinking that it is the monument for Gram Parsons, because even though his friends cremated him there, his family took his ashes home. (making it "empty") Also about the album, it says "the most popular album", parsons had an album that says it is the most popular album ever, U2's album I think sold the most and ect.. It didn't say it was the most popular one. It also says on one of the links I read that Parson and his friends use to go the Joshua Tree National Park and use LSD and other drugs to get inspired. However, they did not name the album Joshua Tree. This is where I got confused. I have several other people researching both people and both albums to see which one fits best.

I know I didn't help much, but I am as confused about this as much as you are.

U2 - The Joshua Tree Album Cover- The Joshua Tree National Park - your looking for a rock formation in the park. The answer i got is Skull Rock.
