Ski Season is looming...
THINK SNOW!!

PLANE PACKAGE
The plane package includes the flight, six-night stay at the Lodge Condos, a four-day lift ticket, and the shuttle (transfer) bus from the airport to the resort and return. There are a limited number of seats, so it is first come-first serve. We cannot guarantee more seats.

Be advised that the airline industry has changed their business model regarding the number of checked bags. AirTran allows one checked bag free of charge, with size and weight limitations. The charge for a second checked bag will be $20 paid at the airport. The charge will be $50 for each bag checked after the first two bags. They will allow skis/snowboards, poles, and boots as one checked bag.

GROUND PACKAGE
The ground package includes a six-night stay at the Lodge Condos and a four-day lift ticket. This means when you purchase the Ground Package, you are responsible for your own arrival to the condo. The GT shuttle bus is only available to those who purchase the Plane Package.

We can provide partial refunds on the Plane Package. Should a refund request be submitted between October 14 - October 31, all but $75 will be refunded. Beginning November 1, we cannot provide any refund to cancelations.

ACCOMMODATIONS/MAXIMUM OCCUPANCY
We will all be staying at Lodge Condos. All condos are individually owned. This means some are different as far as configurations as well as amenities. This trip is based on Maximum Occupancy. For example, a 6-unit condo has two bedrooms with either a double bed or two twins and a pull out couch that sleeps two. All spaces must be full. If an individual would like their own bed/room, an additional fee of $313.00 can buy each open space. Remember that all units with a double bed must be shared. There is a 99.9% chance you will have to share a room/bed. Specifically, we have two bedrooms (sleep 6) and three-bedroom (sleep 8) condos.
