ATTENTION all SSC members! TRIP SIGNUP PROCEDURE for the 2023/2024 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 
2. Select the trip(s) of your choice from this page.
   
3. 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 will abide by all of the trip terms.
4. Make deposit check payable to “SSC” and mail completed trip application and deposit check to the trip leader. Please note the name of the trip in the memo line of the check.
   
5. Your deposit is your vote to support your chosen trip(s) and trip leader(s).
6. We hope to once again have Zoom meetings for all of our trips for potential trip participants to ask questions of the trip leaders. Watch for email blasts for links to the Zoom meetings.

PLEASE COMMIT EARLY TO AVOID THE CANCELLATION OF THESE TRIPS: The contracts we have this year are very stringent in their deadlines which requires 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 so these trips can proceed as planned.

REAL ID IN PENNSYLVANIA: The Real ID enforcement deadline has been extended until May 7, 2025. Beginning then, Pennsylvanians will need a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, photo ID card, or another form of federally-acceptable identification (such as a valid passport or military ID) to board a domestic commercial flight.

DID YOU HEAR ABOUT IT? Whenever we decide to head to the slopes, we expect to have a good time and a safe return. The National Ski Area Association issued a list of rules which proved to be known as the “Responsibility Code”. The code below calls out the most important points which are easy to keep in mind when we are on the slope.

Over the years other nations adopted the rules which are posted in resorts all over the world in four languages- English, French, German and the native one.

Law enforcement in our country uses the Responsibility Code as a base for their decision.

Always stay in control, and be able to stop or avoid other people or objects.
People ahead of you have the right of way. It is your responsibility to avoid them.
You must not stop where you obstruct a trail, or are not visible from above.
Whenever starting downhill or merging into a trail, look uphill and yield to others.
Always use devices to help prevent runaway equipment.
Observe all posted signs and warnings. Keep off closed trails and out of closed areas.
Prior to using any lift, you must have the knowledge and ability to load, ride and unload safely.

Know the code. It's your responsibility.

Please take some time to think about the text above and go through point for point and you will conclude that every accident can be prevented by following the rules. (Reprinted from Eastern Pennsylvania Ski Council- Safety)
