Swiss Ski Club of New York - Reservations and details

How to Go Skiing with Us

Ok, you're ready for the SSC. How do you go skiing with us? The first thing to do is contact the reservationist whose name is on the calendar for that weekend. (If you are unable to reach the reservationist, please contact our Tour Manager.) Refer to our calendar or the event's flyer for specific dates, event information, etc. Reservations generally begin three Wednesdays prior to the weekend. Reservations are accepted until 8 pm on the Monday before a 3-day weekend, and until 8 pm on the Wednesday before most other weekends. Bus Trips have their own reservation schedule and must be prepaid. We recommend you sign up as soon as possible. There is a "first come, first served" advantage, as the reservationist will explain.

Cancellations and late arrivals
The reservation deadline is also the cancellation deadline.
Carpool weekends: A fee of 50% of the weekend rate is charged for cancellations received after the deadline. If you do not cancel and fail to show up for the weekend, you will be billed the full weekend rate. Late arrivals are charged for the full period reserved.
Bus Trip weekends: NO REFUND will be given for any cancellation received after the deadline, unless the canceling party can provide a replacement or a replacement can be substituted from a waiting list. There will be no refund for no-shows.

What's the "fine print" in your reservation policies?
Reservations left on answering machines or by email are not valid until the reservationist confirms to you by phone or email.

Attendees may pay by cash or check on the last day of the weekend. Sorry, but we don't take credit cards except for prepayment of certain events.

Bus Trips require payment in full to confirm your reservation.

Pets are not permitted at the lodge, and smoking is not allowed indoors. Smokers may use the porch to indulge. Pets will have to stay home for the weekend. We love kids as much as anyone, but except for designated family weekends, attendees must be a minimum of 21 years of age.

What do I bring? What don't I bring?
We have this system down. Please bring your own sheets, pillowcase and towel. Alternatively, many people bring a sleeping bag for the bed. Blankets and pillows are provided. Your reservationist will provide you with other details about car pools, pickup points, ski transport, etc.

Do I have to be a member to ski with you?
You don't have to be a member to ski with the SSC. But we would really enjoy meeting you at one of our Wednesday meetings or other NYC events beforehand.

I'm driving, how do I find the lodge?
Your reservationist will provide directions, or your passenger will know the way.
