moe ghoul Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Ski Clubs are always looking to expand membership and with fuel prices looking like they'll push higher into thee ski season clubs can be a decent option to flesh out a ski season with a trip or 2 where you let someone else plan out the details. The the trip listings are fairly decent this year. In addition to the Telluride trip (which is fully booked now) I though I'd list some trips being offered this year with prices. Membership for new members is $35 individual, $45 for a household, renewals are $5 less, you have to be 21 or older unless its a family thing. ( on that point, I've never seen kidsyounger than 21 on a trip yet, so I'm not certain on this point) Stowe: Bus trip Jan 8-10, 2 nites at the Commodores Inn, bfast buffet 2 day lift tix, bus/shuttle............$379 Sugarbush: Feb.5 - 8, 3nites at Bridges Condos, 2 day lift tix (3rd day tix for extra $45), superbowl party, round trip on bus.........$529 LP/Whiteface: Mar. 12-14, roundtrip bus, 2 nites @ high Peaks Resort, b-fast daily, 2 day lift tix, bus/shuttle to mountain......$419 Quebec, CA: Dec. 30- Jan. 3: R/T bus, 4 nites at Quebec City Marriott. this is more of a sightseeing trip, so without sking.........$519 with skiing: 2 day lift tix at Mont St. Anne or Stoneham resort: $100 and 1 day lift tix for LeMassif: $55. Crusty Butt: Jan. 15-20: RT air, all ground transfers, 5 nites lodging @ Plaza Condos, 4 day lift tix, Adventure Park voucher.........$899 Heavenly: Jan 23-30, R/T air, 7 nites @ Embassy Suites in S. Lake Tahoe, full cooked to order b-fast, 2 hours of free happy hour every afternoon, trip includes 3 of 6 days Heavenly tix and 1 day @ Kirkwood. Add'l Heavenly lift tix available for $39'day. Optional day trip to Squaw is being offered, including a Tahoe Queen dinner Cruise for an extra $138....................1659 with air transport or 1224 with no flight (book your own) Fernie/Whitefish: Mar. 6-13, RT air, bus.shuttles, 7 nites @ walk-out/ski-in accomodations at both resorts: 3 nites @ Timberline Condos in Fernie. 4 nites @ Kandahar Lodge in Whitefish, epanded continental b-fast @ Kandahar, 6 days of lift tix, 3 @ each resort............$1419 Cortina, Italy Feb. 21-28.....$1849.this one sounds like it might get cancelled, they're taking 8 peeps and still need 2 by Sept. 15. Edit: the Membership mtg is Sept. 15. If anyone wants details, lemme know or got to the KOPSC website.

TT C6 Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) I did Breck for 5 days with EVERYTHING included except meals (2 free meals/parties) for $1099 with the Florida Ski Council. What do you think of these prices? I used to be active with 2 ski clubs, but found we would get better accomidations for less money if 2 or more shared transportation and made our own arrangements.

I used to be active with 2 ski clubs, but found we would get better accomidations for less money if 2 or more shared transportation and made our own arrangements. Tough call, because I don't comparison shop the ski club package. With frequent flier miles and sharing room/suite, etc, I'm sure there are cheaper options, but generally speaking I think the prices are competitive apples for apples. In other words, if you try to price it out same time, same accomodation tix, transport and whatever meal is included, etc, I'd think the price is competitive or a good deal. With that said, there's a lot of clubs out there, KOPSC just one of many. Supporting local ski clubs is another way to support the industry so it's all good. I'm looking at 2.70-3.00/gal into the new year compared to 1.80-2/gal last season. So, a bustrip might not be a bad way to go when roundtrip gas is factored in.

I haven't booked it yet, so I better get on the ball before she finds out it isn't Arizona! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moe ghoul Posted September 11, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 That whole ordeal on AZ is the funniest thing that's happened there for the past 5 months of flatlining considering why they banned you. the GSS threads are outscoring the 9/11 threads. Even funnier is the anti-steeze crowd is on those threads amping up the post count, ROFLMAO!!!!! That's a lot of drama over nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
