ATTENTION ALL SUSQUEHANNA SKI CLUB MEMBERS!! 

Trip sign-up procedure for the 2026-27 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 exceed capacity. Membership renewal invoices were sent to members in late March. Membership renewal can be completed online beginning April 1.

2. All trip applications and deposits will be accepted either by U.S. Mail or in person at the Reveal at Boomerang on Tuesday, May 5, 2026.

3. All mailed applications and deposits must be postmarked no earlier than Tuesday, May 5, 2026. If your application and deposit are postmarked prior to May 5, you will be ineligible for a trip lottery should the trip oversell.

4. So, go to Trips and select the trip(s) of your choice.

5. Print out the trip terms and application. 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.

6. Make deposit check payable to “SSC” and mail completed trip application and deposit check to the trip leader.

7. This year the sign-ups for the 2026/27 ski trips will be done through U.S. Mail and Tuesday, May 5 will be the start of the sign-up period. For lottery purposes, the initial sign-up will run through Tuesday, May 11, 2026. All trip lottery policies will apply. Your postmark will secure your eligibility in a trip lottery should a trip oversell within the initial sign-up period. We will allow adequate time for mail-in applications to be delivered to the trip leaders and all lotteries will be held on or after May 15, 2026.

8. Your deposit is your vote to support your chosen trip(s) and trip leader(s).

9. We hope once again to have in-person meetings or Zoom meetings for all of our trips to enable potential trip participants to ask questions about 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). You can listen to the entire presentation at https://skifederation.org/24824-2. Our September 2025 newsletter also summarized important details from this presentation.

Medical Care - If you get sick, injured or die on vacation, this allows you to visit any clinic doctor or hospital in the 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 receipts. 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 the policy (e.g., if a family member you care for, you, a relative or roommate get sick, injured or die), you may get 100% of the 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.
