Participation Policy
Participation in our trip may be limited by rooming requirements. Families need to be able to fill the condo. We are unable to place other participants with children. A “supplement” may be applied to participants not able to fill condos. Prices are as of posting, and we apologize if we must adjust these nearer the trip date. We are not able to absorb additional price increases by the airline, resort, or ground transportation.

Cancellation Policy
Individuals who cancel their seat on a trip will forfeit the non-refundable trip deposit plus any fees or losses incurred on their behalf. If cancellation occurs after the predetermined closing date (the date the last payment is due), the full price of the trip may be charged. A cancellation form must be submitted to the club advisor and no refunds will be given until after the trip has occurred. We urge all participants to purchase optional travel insurance. We will make every effort to refund a portion of the cost of the trip if we are able to replace you with another individual. If no replacement is available, the total price of the trip may be charged.

How to Reserve Your Trip

  1. Each individual MUST register online, completely. This will furnish the club advisor with all the required information for correct ticketing, mailing address labels, and emergency contact information.
     
  2. Print the required “Waiver of Liability” form, read and complete it, and mail it to Mike Wade, Ski Club advisor, Moraine Valley Community College, 9000 W. College Pkwy., Palos Hills, IL 60465-0937

    Include your check for the required deposit, made out to Moraine Valley Community College. Please record the name/date of trip on the memo portion of your check.

    The club advisor will deposit the check and update your account balance for the trip.

    Note: To pay by credit card, please call the club advisor with all the following information:
           • Name as it appears on card
           • Card number
           • Expiration date of card
           • 3-digit security code on back of card
