EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA SKI COUNCIL (EPSC) DISCOUNTS As a member of SSC, you are entitled to benefits and discounts through the Council (aka EPSC).

Just go to https://easternpaskicouncil.org.

Please note: Instructions and a code to access the EPSC discounts were recently emailed to current SSC members. Check your inbox for this information.

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). You can listen to the entire presentation at https://skifederation.org/24824-2.

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.
