In order to give more time to our members we’ve decided to extend the discounts on our bus trips for another month. $15 off each bus trip if booked in November, and $5 each bus trip if booked in December. In addition, everyone who books a bus trip will be given a $10 credit to offset the cost of ski club membership.

With the discounts our bus trip prices will be the lowest in town this year and we will be running each bus trip at a slight loss, however we really want to make sure the buses run this year so are discounting as much as possible. We will also provide free snacks again this year on each bus trip.

Registration is now open for members to renew their membership for the upcoming season. To renew your membership log into powerup (https://bytownskiclub.powerupsports.com/) and add the item to your cart.

We have finalized our trip plan for the year and will be running 4 bus trips to Tremblant – one each month from January to April. Registration is open now.

• Friday January 19^th
• Friday February 16^th
• Sunday March 17^th
• Sunday April 7^th.

To purchase tickets login to our powerup page: https://bytownskiclub.powerupsports.com/. Tremblant has increased the price to ski this year by a bit. This year the exec made a decision to subsidize our bus trips by offering big discounts to those who register early:

• Anyone who registers for at least one bus trip over the season will receive a free Bytown ski club membership (value $10).
• All bus trips will be discounted by $15 for those who register by October 31^st.
• All bus trips will be discounted by $5 for those who register between November 1^st and November 30^th.

Discounts are available on a first come first serve basis and buses may sell out.

Lastly, every year we do a survey on how to improve the trips, and every year we hear that’d you’d like a pickup location with parking closer to the downtown. Starting this year, we have invited members of the RA Ski Club to join us on our buses, and will be adding a stop at the RA Centre (2451 Riverside Drive) with free parking.

Mont Cascades has offered a club discount of 10% off daily lift passes, and a discounted price of $325 (taxes included) for their White Nights Adult ski program which includes 7 instructor classes and a 5/7 season pass. Still a great deal. Simply mention you’re a Bytown ski club member when registering by phone with them.

The Ottawa location of Mountain Equipment Company (MEC) has offered our club a special 15% discount on all regularly priced merchandise on Wednesday, October 25^th. One day only. Simply show your membership card. They will also have ski tuneups and service available at full price. Visit our store discounts page for details (https://www.bytownskiclub.ca/store-discounts/).
