Cancellation Policy:
Responsibility

It will be the responsibility of the trip taker to notify the trip chairperson or assistant (hereinafter referred to as “Chairperson”) in writing of their intent to cancel. Notification may be by telephone to the Chairperson on or before the cancellation date followed by a letter, or by a letter postmarked at the latest, on the established cancellation date. If a trip cancellation date isn’t identified (e.g. one day activity), then the last minute cancellation takes precedence.


Authorized Cancellation

When a trip taker notifies the Chairperson of intent to cancel before the cancellation date established by the East Iowa Ski Club for that trip, all monies will be refunded.


Cancellation

When a trip taker notifies the Chairperson of intent to cancel after the established cancellation date, but prior to the last minute cancellation date, it is considered a late cancellation. If airline tickets need to be reissued, the canceling trip taker will be responsible for the penalty to change the ticket. First preference for a replacement goes to the waiting list. If no waiting list, the trip taker can designate a replacement. If no replacement can be found, you will be responsible for any additional unrecoverable costs (such as transportation, lodging, etc).


Last Minute Cancellation

A last minute cancellation occurs when a trip taker notifies the Chairperson of intent to cancel within seven (7) days of a one-day or weekend trip, or within 21 days of a weeklong trip. This type of cancellation creates difficulty in finding last minute replacements. There will be an automatic 10% penalty (of total trip price) assessed on all last minute cancellations, in addition to any unrecoverable costs incurred (such as transportation, lodging, etc) due to the lateness of the cancellation.


Refunds

Refunds to authorized cancelers will be paid as notification is received and processed through the Club treasurer. All monies paid by late or last minute cancelers will be held by the Club until the financial records for the trip have been completed. The cancelers will then be eligible for a refund of the balance of their money paid less any penalties and costs incurred by the lateness of their cancellation.

I have read and understand the above cancellation policies of the East Iowa Ski Club. I also understand that trip prices can fluctuate due to unforeseen circumstances. I will act accordingly and abide by these policies.

The first major EISC West trip of the 2022 season is Back to Breckenridge!  The EISC is very fortunate to have Trip Leaders Kathy Takes and Steve Simmen volunteer to guide us on this great ski adventure.  Breckenridge is a popular ski and vacation destination for the club and we have room for 32 members (8 2br/2bth suites) staying at the Beaver Run resort.  This ski in/ski out resort complex is located on the mountain at Peak 9.  On the last trip to Breck the EISC was able to handle all aspects of the trip (lodging, transportation, lifts) – this year will require member input.  Vail resorts has priced lift tickets excessively high in order to sell Epic passes.  The EISC has decided not to include lift tickets and refer our members to either the Epic Day Pass, Epic Base or Summit Pass or the Epic Local pass options.  The differences are described in the Ski Pass article in this newsletter.  We have realize that most members prefer to drive to Summit County resorts rather than fly to Colorado, so this will be a drive yourself trip as well.  Flights are available to Denver for members who prefer to fly and book their own flights.  Arranging an Epic Mountain Shuttle to the resort for around $56 per person each way is an option on the Epic pass website.

 

With more than 2,908 acres of skiing terrain for all levels, Breckenridge is one of the most popular ski resorts in Colorado. Beginner skiers can comfortably learn to ski at the base of Peak 8 and 9, while intermediates have their pick of groomed runs at Breckenridge, as well as intermediate bowls from the new Peak 6 terrain. Expert skiers can ski challenging lines off of the summit or Peak.  With 5 peaks, 187 trails, 2,908 acres and the highest lift-served terrain, Breck has something for everyone.  The Vertical Drop is 3,398 ft.; the Elevation (Summit) is 12,998 ft. and Elevation (Base) is 9,600 ft.  There are 187 trails and the longest trail is 4 O’clock at 3.5 miles.  The altitude is sometimes a challenge for our members at Breck.  We have learned it is better to stay hydrated with lots of water rather than beer at this altitude.

 

The Beaver Run Resort is one of Breckenridge’s most popular ski-in/ski-out properties.  It offers a variety of amenities including an indoor/outdoor heated pool, a second outdoor pool, nine outdoor hot tubs, an exercise room, video arcade, retail stores, mini market/deli, bars and restaurants, ski and snowboard rental shops and complimentary in-town shuttle. Parking is restricted during the winter to 1 vehicle per bedroom at a $20 per day fee.

 

The Breckenridge trip will go on sale at the Spring Picnic meeting on June 5th.  

 

The Breckenridge Trip Cost is:

$700 Land Only – $350 sign up / $350 Sept. 18 / Epic Local Pass, Epic Summit Pass or Epic Day Passes - instead of lift tickets. 

 

EISC members will have to order the Epic passes online.  The EISC recommends using the SKI.com link https://epicikon.events.ski.com/  to buy your pass as SKI.com offers a credit of $30 on all Epic (except the Epic Day) Passes, when used on one of the EISC trips.  All Epic Passes are currently selling at 20% less than last year.  Options & costs in the Ski Pass article are in this newsletter.  Be sure and sign up early for what is sure to be a fantastic EISC skiing adventure. 

 

Please thank Kathy and Steve for volunteering to be Trip Leaders again this year following our pandemic year.  Without our Trip Leader volunteers the EISC would be unable to offer these fun ski trips.  If anyone would like to be a Trip Leader on a future EISC trip, please contact a Board member or sign up on the trip survey sheets.  Hope to see at the EISC picnic and at Breckenridge!
