 Consider bringing a ski buddy, this is not a guided ski trip

Ski Bees cannot guide, teach lessons, or lead members around the slopes while on these trips as our insurance does not allow us to do so.  WE are simply there as hosts, to help organize and co-ordinate this trip.  

You need to come physically prepared to ski these ski resorts, you need to understand the mountains are larger and much higher in altitude than where we ski in Ontario.  You need to be a confident, strong intermediate skier, able to read trail maps and trail sinage, so you can choose your way around the mountain on terrain best suited to your ability level.

When skiing, it is allways recomended that you ski with a buddie, bring a friend on the trip so you always have someone to ski with who is of a simliar speed and ability.  Be aware that run difficulty signage is relative to what the mountain has to offer. Green/Blue/Black runs can be much more diffcult in the mountains than in Ontario and the snow conditions more diverse.

If you are making your own flight arrangements. PLEASE NOTE - individual flight arrangements should be in accordance with the group arrival and departure times. If any of the group members book their own air independently, they will be responsible for finding their own way to the resort and back to the airport unless their flights coincide with the group airport transfer times. Book a flight that results in you arriving first or preferably the same flight as the trip, so you can hop on the bus, as it won't wait for you. 

• Our trip minimum is 25 people, if we do not meet this requirement, the package cost may have a small surcharge.

• Flight numbers and departure times are subject to change, be sure to check flight via the Air Canada app prior to leaving to the airport.

• While Ski Bees is not requiring proof of vaccination to participate in Club activities this season, all Travel trip participants will need to follow vaccination requirements and rules for trip destinations. If you register for a trip, you are responsible for ensuring you are compliant with all destination vaccination, testing and documentation requirements. These requirements could change at any time.

• Please DO NOT make your own flight arrangements or book your own flight on points until trip we have enough members signed up to make sure this trip is operating, Ski Bees will advise once we have met minimum passener requirments. In the event that the trip does not occur Ski Bees or Skican is not responsible for any costs incurred by members who book their own flights.

Neither SkiCan or Ski Bees will refund any lost payments not covered by insurance. Skican and Ski Bees strongly recommends the purchase of Trip Cancellation Insurance to protect non-refundable deposits and payments in the event the participants are forced to cancel their vactation for medical reasons.  Comprehensive Insurance is also avaiable.  A "cancel for any reason" rider can be added to a newly purchased policy and in these uncertain, ongoing times, it is definatly worth understanding and enquiring about.

You are buying this trip from Skican, an independant tour operator, not Ski Bees. Who is a 3rd party regulations and government travel advisories that prescribe when insurance refunds are issued.  Ski Bees cannot cancel tripsas it may prevent members from obtaining refunds that they may be otherwise eligible to recieve.  Depending on the situationfor cancellation, as well as your choice of personal insurance covered purchased, refunds may or may not be reimbursed if a trip is interupted of cancelled.

If you do not have insurance, and you need or want to cancel your trip, you will be subject to the timelines of the cancellation policy for that trip. This means that if you are within a certain number of days before that trip, you may only get a partial refund or no refund at all.  This is because at this point in time the service providers (hotel, airlines, etc) will not be giving a refund to the tour operators, so they therefore be unable to pass a refund back to you.  No one wants to think they will be unable to go on a trip, nor do we want to think we may become injured on the trip requiring ground and air ambulance and medical care out of province.

Allianz insurance requests can be made on the "GET A QUOTE" link on the Skican Payment portal.

During the trip we have found What'sApp (or similair) to be the most effective way to quickly share updates to people while travelling, particularily with flight updates. All recent phone brands can partipate in secure group chats with the exception of flip phones. We recommend joining the group chat at least week before leaving for the airport. 

Trip Group Photo: Every trip we do a group photo. As part of the group participation, it is expected that everyone on the trip will make an effort to attend.
