Registration:

Ski trip registration is filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Register for trips at Chicago Friar meetings (held on the 1st & 3rd Monday of each month at Goose Island Brewery) or by contacting the individual trip leader directly. A skier is not officially registered until they have paid any necessary membership dues and all trip deposit money required to date! See trip payment schedules for additional information.

Payments:

Minimum deposits for Western trips are $250/300. Minimum deposits for Midwestern trips are $100. Payment schedule dates are designed to give the club enough time to meet payment schedules set by trip destinations/tour operators.

Early bird price savings:

Designed to encourage early sign-ups, initial deposits must be made by the specified date and all following trip payments must be made on time or the individual will be charged the regular trip price. No exceptions will be made and no excuses allowed.

Final payment date:

All trips must be paid in full by the final payment date. The ski club reserves the right to reassign the reservation of any individual who fails to keep current with scheduled payment dates.

Cancellations:

The minimum cancellation fee on any ski trip is $25. Any penalties or losses incurred by the ski club, up to and including the full trip price, will be charged back to the individual (extenuating circumstances will be taken into consideration). All empty trip spots will be filled before a canceling individual's spot is replaced. Every efforts will be made to minimize losses on the part of the individual.

Trip size:

The ski club reserves the right to change the capacity of a trip at any time. Trip size reductions or trip cancellation will be initiated to limit losses on partially filled trips.

Membership requirements:

You must be a current ski club member to go on a club ski trip (no exceptions). If necessary, the trip leader will collect this fee.

Penalties/Miscellaneous:

Penalties imposed by airlines, lodging properties, etc. will be charged to individuals who instigate them (i.e.: name change on airline tickets). Prices are subject to change based on, but not limited to, changes in federal aviation regulations, fuel surcharges and provisions of trip contracts, etc.

These policies have been set up to cover general situations. They are meant to be fair for all participants and encourage people to register earlier rather than later. The Chicago Friar Ski Club Board members will review special circumstances upon request.
