Trip signups for the 2025/2026 season... Here is what you need to do:

1. Your membership must be current and up-to-date in accordance with the rules stated on the membership application. Failure to supply correct, complete and accurate information will make you ineligible for a trip lottery should the trip oversell. Membership invoices were emailed out in late March.
2. Print out the trip terms and application found on each trip's web page. Complete and sign trip application in full. Please note, by signing the trip application you are acknowledging and agree to abide by all of the trip terms.
3. Make deposit check payable to “SSC” and mail completed trip application and deposit check to the trip leader.
4. Your deposit is your vote to support your chosen trip(s) and trip leader(s).
5. We hope to once again have zoom meetings for all of our trips for potential trip participants to ask questions of the trip.

TRAVEL INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

The following trip insurance summary was recently presented to the National Ski Federation by Myra Altschuler (myra@travelprotectors.com; 703-443-9055).

Medical Care - If you get sick, injured or die on vacation, this allows you to visit any clinic doctor or hospital in US or overseas. You will need to pay all of your bills up front and get receipts, then contact your insurance company to get reimbursed. 

Medical evacuation/ rescue – If you get hurt on the ski slopes and have to be brought down, you pay up front and submit receipt. This will be covered under Medical Evacuation.

Travel insurance – This includes medical care and medical evacuation, plus trip cancellation and interruption. If your trip is canceled or interrupted for specific reasons listed in policy (if family member you care for, you, relative or roommate get sick, injured or die), you may get 100% of non-refundable portion of trip back. 

PLEASE COMMIT EARLY TO AVOID THE CANCELLATION OF THESE TRIPS The contracts we have this year are very stringent in their deadlines which require us to have a certain number of participants by unusually early dates. If we must cancel a trip by the due date because of lack of participation, we are still responsible for paying cancellation fees to the hotel, tour operator or airlines. Please commit early, so your club does not have to absorb these fees and that these trips can proceed as planned.
