SKI TRIP POLICIES
APPROVED BY THE BOARD
2007 – 2008 SEASON
EACH TRIP MUST BE PAID FOR WITH SEPARATE CHECK OR MONEY ORDER. NO CASH WILL BE ACCEPTED. (This policy is a result of the Audit Committee’s recommendation that individual ski trip costs be tracked more closely.)
A TRIP PARTICIPANT WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TRANSFER DEPOSITS FROM ONE TRIP TO ANOTHER TRIP. (This is also an Audit Committee recommendation.)
AFTER EACH TRIP, REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN FROM THAT TRIP. EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE TO GIVE REFUNDS WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE TRIP. (This recommendation was made to balance out the first two requirements. Members can obtain their refunds much more quickly than in the past.)
DEPOSITS:
TO SECURE YOUR PLACE ON THE TRIP, A $50 DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED FOR THE TWO DAY TRIPS AND A $75 DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED FOR THE THREE DAY TRIPS.
FINAL PAYMENT IS DUE 45 DAYS BEFORE EACH TRIP
FORFEITURES:
(1) ALL CANCELLATIONS MUST BE MADE IN WRITING (Preferably by postal service or e-mail to carpediumnow@aol.com or you may hand deliver a written cancellation to Linda Thompson, the 2007-08 Ski Trip Chairperson.)
(2) IF YOU CANCEL 46-60 DAYS BEFORE TRIP YOUR DEPOSIT IS FORFEITED. (See #3 Below)
ALL MONIES ARE FORFEITED IF YOU CANCEL 1-45 DAYS BEFORE TRIP. (See #3 Below)
(3) IF THE TRIP IS FULL AND THE CANCELLED SPOT CAN BE FILLED BY THE SKI TRIP CHAIRMAN, ALL MONIES WILL BE REFUNDED TO THAT PERSON.
IF THERE IS A WAITING LIST CANCELLATIONS WILL BE FILLED THRU PROCESS OF CONTACTING PEOPLE ON THE WAITING LIST ACCORDING TO THE DATE AND TIME THE DEPOSIT WAS RECEIVED.
LIFT TICKETS:
THERE WILL BE TWO PRICES FOR SKI TRIPS, ONE INCLUDING LIFT TICKETS AND ONE WITHOUT LIFT TICKETS. PERSONS THAT PROVIDE THEIR OWN LIFT TICKETS WILL HAVE THE COST OF THEIR TRIP REDUCED BY APPROXIMATELY 80% OF THE COST OF THE INDIVIDUAL GROUP LIFT TICKET. THE APPROXIMATELY 20% COST IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THE USE OF THE PERSONAL LIFT TICKETS FREQUENTLY CAUSES THE SKI CLUB TO LOSE ONE COMPLIMENTARY LIFT TICKET THAT ARE NORMALLY PROVIDED AT THE RATE OF ONE FREE TICKET FOR EVERY 20 PURCHASED LIFT TICKETS. THESE COMPLEMENTARY LIFT TICKETS HELP TO HOLD DOWN THE COST OF THE TRIPS.
