(The club is not assigning people to hotel rooms. To qualify for dbl. occ. per person rate, both occupants must indicate that they want to share the room with each other, and the second occupant must register within 5 days of the first.)

We are working on scheduling a “welcome” breakfast on Monday morning, or another group event. The breakfast or other event is included in your registration price.

Lift tickets:

Group-rate lift tickets are not available, so participants are responsible for their own lift tickets. Skiers may buy tickets at the discount advance on-line price, or various passes (Epic Pass, W-B season pass, Edge Card), purchased in advance. An additional suggestion would be to ask a friend on the trip using an Epic Pass if they will include you in their “ski with a friend” or “buddy” tickets. Consult the W-B website and/or call 1-888-403-4727 for information regarding ticket and pass options.

Every skier and rider will need an advance reservation for mountain access. You must get that yourself. You can't get on a lift without the access reservation. Go online to https://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/ , find the page for mountain access reservations, and reserve your dates. If you have an Epic Pass, Edge Card, or WB season pass, you are ready after you reserve your dates. The reservation system opens November 6.

Group lift tickets are unavailable for this trip. If you need lift tickets buy online advance purchase lift tickets which include mountain access. Lift tickets become available after December 8.

Trip payment schedule: Single occ. $504 due with registration

Cancellation Fees shall be credited to the trip’s account and may be used by the trip leader for the running of the trip.
No cancellation fee shall be charged to the participant if the trip has changed from what was originally advertised regarding dates, destination, mode of transportation, or if there has been a cost increase of more than 15 % from the originally advertised price. A trip participant may not sell their spot. If they are gifting their spot, they must pay for any associated expenses and notify the trip leader of their cancellation. Only the trip leader may sell or resell a trip spots.
Trip leaders shall follow the priority and waiting list policies as described in the S’no Joke Ski Club’s “Trip Event and Club Polices”.
Cancellations resulting in refunds are reported by the trip leader(s) to the Treasurer via the approved process and form. The Treasurer will then process the cancellation in the system and pay the refunds per the above policy.
Changes to a participant’s registration options may also result in a refund or additional expense to them. These changes shall be reported by the trip leaders to the Treasurer. The Treasurer and only the Treasurer, will then process the registration change and apply any refunds or recognize the additional expense as approved by the trip leader. Any refund due shall be paid soon after reconciliation of the trip’s income and expenses.
The associated credit card fees shall remain as an expense in the trip account.
