high park ski clubLearn to love winter! |
High Park Ski Club is Toronto's longest established adult ski and snowboard club. And with age comes experience and knowing what makes for a successful winter sports club: exciting trips, professionally organised, fun people, varied activities and value for money second to noneUPDATE REGARDING IT ISSUE - January 25thIt appears that our IT issue has been resolved so we have reopened registration for trips. If you do experience any issue regarding registration or invoicing, please let us know. uPDATE - jANUARY 18TH - FINALLY!!It has finally happened – we are back to our regular schedule!! This past Saturday we held our traditional Double Double day with lessons both in the morning and afternoon at Mount St. Louis. And we were finally, after a number of weeks of disappointment, able to run cross-country trips due to the recent snowfall in resort country. (Thank you to Heather for all her work in juggling the cross-country schedule to get the first trips run.) This coming weekend our initial charter trips of the season leave for Jackson Hole and for France. I hope everyone has a fantastic time. Just a reminder, for those who haven’t been on our day trips in a few seasons. Last year we had to adjust our registration deadlines due to our change in bus company. For weekend trips (Saturday, Sunday, Monday) the deadline is now on the Tuesday prior at 6pm. The deadline for Wednesday trips is the previous Thursday at 6pm. To avoid disappointment please sign up early. If the trip is full, please sign up on the waitlist. If there is enough interest, we will add a second bus (which also means using our two additional pick-up locations of Queen’s Quay and Liberty Village.) Regarding cross-country daytrips, please make sure to read the trip descriptions carefully and/or follow posts on our Facebook group, regarding when trips open for registration. Due to the uncertainty of conditions, at least so far this season, registration is being opened when we are sure the resort conditions will allow us to run trips. This is to avoid having to process a large number of refunds which costs the club in credit cards fees. Also as a reminder, if you need to cancel a day trip you have registered for, please send a message to cancellations@hpsc.ca . Masking on the BusUnfortunately, COVID and other respiratory illness are clearly still with us. While this will not deter our plans for a more normal ski season it still must be acknowledged. The bus is the one indoor area that the club has full control over. As such we made the decision and communicated numerous times during the fall, that we are leaving the mask mandate on the bus in place for this year. This requirement is also stated on all trip descriptions. Given the unpredictability of case counts, we did not want to have to reimpose masks if public health rules reverted back. Many of you have received every COVID shot available to you; however, there are others who have not. While it was extremely important last season, requiring proof of vaccination was a huge undertaking for a volunteer club. Given that there is currently no recognized number of what is considered as the effective vaccination level and the proportion with booster shots is not as high as the initial shots, retaining masks on the bus is the most basic level of protection we could insist on. We apologize for any inconvenience, but this is the club policy for the current season. Those who contravene the policy may face club disciplinary action.
