I have a question if some of you could help. I was thinking about purchasing a floating week in South Padre Island, but could really only use it in the summer most likely when everyone else would want it. Is it always first come first serve basis? Same thing for Colorado ski areas? If you own a floating week what are your chances you can use it if you only want to use it to ski Dec, Jan, Feb? I am sure Vail and Lake Tahoe is nice in the summer but I have no interest.

You need to check your contract on which weeks/seasons that your "float" season allows. At many resorts, they charge a premium to be able to access the property during "high demand" periods. Even though weeks 1 - 52 may all be "red" at a particular resort, weeks such as Christmas, Easter, President's week, ans sometimes even July and August will be classified as "prime or premium weeks" and usually cost more to purchase.
