IMPORTANT MESSAGE: The Board of Directors of the Susquehanna Ski Club (SSC) considers the health and safety of ALL of our members and guests a top priority. Due to the recent surge of cases of Covid-19, SSC is instituting a new protocol for all meetings, events and trips provided by SSC. To participate in any SSC meeting, event, or trip, the "Covid Release for SSC" form (click on hyperlink to open this PDF) must be completed and signed by members and guests before entering a meeting room, event, or boarding a bus. Please read this form at your convenience, print if possible and bring it with you to our next meeting or event. If you cannot print it, copies will be available upon registration at the meeting/event. We ask that if you are sick, have a sore throat or fever that you please stay home.

MODIFIED TRIP SIGNUP PROCEDURE

• To sign up for a 2022 trip, your SSC 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. 
• This year, all trip applications and deposits will be accepted either by U.S. Mail or in person at the June 12, 2021Awards Banquet (aka "Bannic 2.1"). If you're planning to attend the banquet, see your trip leader at the banquet to submit your application and deposit. Or if you prefer to mail in your application, the initial sign-up period for 2022 ski trips runs from Saturday, June 5 through Saturday, June 12. Your postmark will secure your eligibility in a trip lottery should the trip oversell within the initial sign-up period. For lottery purposes, make sure your application is postmarked no earlier than Saturday, June 5 and no later than Saturday, June 12. If your application and deposit are postmarked outside of this window you will be ineligible for the lottery should the trip oversell. All trip lottery policies will apply. We will allow adequate time for mail-in applications to be delivered to the trip leaders; all lotteries will be held on or after June 19, 2021.
• SSC's trip application form has been updated. Please use the updated form when submitting your application for our 2022 trips: TRIP APPLICATION SSC 2021-2022 revision (gold) 05-01-21.pdf. This form can also be found on individual trip pages. Please note, by signing the trip application you are acknowledging and will abide by all of the trip terms. 

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

• We will once again have Zoom meetings for all of our trips for potential trip participants to ask questions of the trip leaders. These will be June 1 @ 6 PM for Mt Bachelor, June 1 @ 7 PM for Banff, June 2 @ 7 PM for Steamboat, and June 7 @ 6 PM for Sölden. 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 due to COVID-19 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. Your deposit is your "vote" to support your chosen trip(s) and trip leader(s).

TRAVEL INSURANCE IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Attention trip participants, especially in light of recent unforeseen events, it is the responsibility of each participant to secure their own insurance based on their individual needs. If you have a pre-existing condition, most insurance companies require you to obtain insurance within two weeks from the date you made your trip deposit (this may vary among insurance companies).

REAL ID IN PENNSYLVANIA: The Real ID enforcement deadline has been extended until May 1, 2023. 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.
