You must be a member of Kick 'n Gliders Nordic Ski Club to participate in club trips and activities.

We require those making reservations for ski trips to remit the full amount of the advertised deposit. For any trip that is overbooked by deposits postmarked prior to October 1 (an unusual situation), a lottery, drawn at the Ox Roast event, will determine who will be included on the trip.  After October 1, reservations will be handled on a first come, first served basis. This allows everyone an equal opportunity to participate in all trips.

(For full details on deposits, cancellations and how finances works, follow "Trip Finances" link on left.)

All trip payments are to be paid to the Treasurer, not to the Trip Leader.  You can give the Treasurer a check at a meeting or mail it to the club address.

Please contact the trip leader for additional information on the nature of skiing opportunities, accommodations and other questions.
