What if I need lessons or equipment?

If you need lessons or equipment, let the trip leader know at the time you sign up for the trip. The trip leader can help make arrangements with the mountain. If you need to rent equipment, you may want to rent from a local ski shop and bring them with you - it will save valuable ski time rather than waiting on line at the mountain!

I've never skied before, can I get lessons?

Yes! The trip leader can help arrange a beginner lifts/lesson/equipment package for you. The price of the trip will be adjusted so you will not pay twice for lift tickets. Many ski areas offer these packages at extremely low prices to get you started. After you have taken your beginner lessons, we will arrange for you to have a "Ski Buddy" Be sure to let the trip leader know if you want lessons at the time you sign up for the trip.

I don't know anyone in the club and I don't want to ski alone, can you help?

Cresthaven Ski Club has a long standing tradition: NO ONE SKIS ALONE!!, unless of course, you want to. We do our best to match you with someone of your ability to ski with you. Generally, you will have no problem finding several people to ski with.

I have children, can they go on the trips?

No, our minimum age policy is 23 and over.


How do I sign up for a trip?

At the end of each meeting, the trip leaders take names and payments (50% deposit minimum) for their trips. First come, first serve. Members are given preference over non-members. This is also the time to mention if you need equipment rentals or lessons or have a rooming request.

Do I have to attend meeting to sign up for trips?

No, after a trip opens you can call the trip leader for availability and send a deposit and/or payment to the trip leader.


I'm a single person. Will I room alone?

No. All rooming assignments are based on two per room. We can accommodate smoking and non-smoking requests. If there is someone you want to room with, both you and the person you wish to room with should inform the trip leader at sign-up. On rare occasions, a single room may be available, at additional cost.
