RESERVATIONS:
A member must be in good standing as of June 1, 2011 to be eligible for the "first signup rights" for King of Prussia ski trips. The dates for first signup and open signup are determined by whether the trip is designated as an "early signup" trip or a regular trip.
Regular signup trips:
First signup occurs at the September general meeting. If you are a member in good standing as of June 1, 2011 you may sign up for these trips (or any trip) at the meeting. Members who joined after June 1st may sign up for these trips after the close of the September general meeting.
Payment (all trips):
Initial member deposit is payable by check only and must accompany properly completed and signed trip registration form. $35 of the deposit is nonrefundable. No reservation will be accepted without a form and deposit. Reservations will not be accepted from nonmembers. A payment schedule is provided for each trip and must be adhered to in order for the member to retain their reserved spot.
CANCELLATION BY A MEMBER:
Full refund (minus minimum $35 non-refundable portion) IF SPOT IS FILLED. The leader will attempt to fill cancelled spot from the waiting list first. If spot is not filled from the waiting list, and the trip leader agrees, the person canceling may attempt to provide a replacement. Spots cannot be sold prior to exhausting the waiting list.
If a suitable replacement cannot be found, the member remains liable for any expense the club incurs, up to the entire cost of the trip.
If additional costs are incurred due to member changes (taxes, airline ticket changing fees, lodging, food, etc.), the member is responsible of the additional cost.
CANCELLATION BY THE CLUB:
In the event the club cancels a scheduled ski trip due to lack of snow or any other reason, the club will attempt to reimburse the participants to whatever level possible. This is dependent upon the cancellation policies of lodges and transportation companies.
Because of the changeable and unpredictable nature of ski conditions, cancellation due to lack of snow is extremely unlikely. If you feel that going on a particular trip is not worth your while, you are free to cancel, subject to the provisions described in the section "Cancellation by a Member."
TRIP INSURANCE:
It is highly recommended that each member who signs up for a trip consider purchasing trip insurance. Be sure to ask your trip leader for information on insurance options available to you.
Ski Trips – We are There!
By Lydia Hill
As has been communicated – the ski trip planning process has been very bumpy this year. Based on surveys and pure gut feelings (basically where the club has not been for the three or four years) destinations were picked and dates plugged in to the 2011-12 ski season calendar. Bids were sent to our tour operators and they got back to us – “air is not loaded” – “fares are out of sight” – “bear with us more air is expected ‘tomorrow’”. As we know ‘tomorrow’ never comes!
The committee wanted to get the best pricing possible for our members, so we waited and hung in there. We feel that we are now able to offer our members great trips at exceptionally good prices this year considering our destinations and the ever volatile cost of gas. Thank you for your patience.
The lineup for early trip sign-up trips is:
Lake Placid/Whiteface Mountain, NY – December 30, 2011 – January 2, 2012
$659.00 – Non-skiers - $619.00
Steamboat Springs, CO – January 21-28, 2012
EPSC Carnival Trip - $1,539.00
Jackson Hole, WY – February 10 -17, 2012
$1,354.00
Big Sky/Moonlight Basin, MT – February 25 – March 3, 2012
$1,529.00
Schweitzer, ID/Red Mountain, Canada – March 10-17, 2012
Adventure trip - $1,524.00
The eastern trips portion of the committee has been working very hard to provide confirmed trip destinations and dates for your trip planning purposes for this issue of The Monthly Mogul. Efforts were made so we were not over lapping any of our trips. We were successful. Eastern destinations, dates and that will go on sale at the September meeting are:
Killington, VT – January 6-8, 2012 -
2-day weekend
Okemo, VT – February 3-6, 2012-
3-days over Super Bowl Weekend
Mont Tremblant, Canada – March 21-25, 2012 –
4 days – Wed. to Sun.
Pricing has not been finalized in time for this issue.
Ads for the eastern trips will be in the September newsletter with all the details.
Again the trips committee thanks you for your patience during this year’s planning process and hope that you continue your support by signing up for one (or two or more) of the KOPSC 2011-2012 trips. |
