Winterset
Bulk Ticket Purchase – 2011/2012 Season
Unused Bulk Buy Lift Ticket
Returns are made in the month of APRIL to
get credit for next year.
What is the Bulk Buy Lift
Ticket Program?
This is a program set up by the Connecticut Ski Council (CSC) for all their
participating clubs to save skiers money on lift tickets to many of the ski
areas in the Northeast. Winterset is a member of the CSC, therefore, you
as a member of Winterset are able to partake in this program.
Winterset Ski Club through the CSC offers it's membership the opportunity to
advance purchase lift tickets and lift ticket vouchers for many of the area ski
resorts. During about 3 weeks in the month of September members are
offered a list of mountains and ticket prices. Any paid member may
purchase these tickets and voucher, which have NO BLACK OUT DATES, now for use
during the 2011-2012 ski season. These tickets and vouchers are for use
for you as an individual member, and are not needed for Day Bus Trips and/or
longer trips that Winterset Ski Club offers it's members.
What if I don't use all
the Vouchers that I order?
Each mountain has it's own return/credit policy. Most mountain will offer
members credit on unused, returned vouchers -- this credit MUST be used the
following ski season to purchase new vouchers for that same mountain. At
the end of the season (During the month of April to be exact) Winterset members
turn in unused vouchers to the Bulk Buy Ticket Coordinator, who in turn returns
them to the CSC for credit for vouchers for next season --- PLEASE SEE THE
INFORMATION FROM THE CSC AS TO THE EXACT RULES AND REGULATIONS FOR THESE RETURNS
-- please note that credit is not guaranteed, so try to plan your purchases
accordingly.
Do I need to purchase
Vouchers for Winterset Trips?
No, lift tickets for any trips through Winterset will be purchased by the
club and given to the members on and for that trip.
Is this the same as CSC
Awareness Days?
No, this is a different program from the Awareness Days. These
vouchers are good any day during the ski season at the particular mountain that
you purchased. The CSC Awareness Days is a listing of specific
dates/mountains/prices. You show up at the specific mountain, on the
assigned date, show your membership card at the purchase window and get the
discounted Awareness Day price.
Is the price of the
Awareness Days the same as the Bulk Buy Ticket prices?
Usually not -- the prices may be more or less depending on the
day/date/month, etc.

Winterset Bulk Ticket Purchase - 2011-2012 Season
The bulk buy ticket program is sponsored by the Connecticut Ski Council for their member clubs. As such, each purchaser must be a member of a participating club -
Winterset Ski Club is a member of the Connecticut Ski Council.
Here are a few guidelines for this year's program.
- Bulk buy purchasers must be paid-up members of Winterset Ski club.
Bulk buy tickets are intended only for Winterset Ski Club members. They cannot be resold to non-club members; they can be sold to other Winterset Club members, or other members of clubs that are part of the Connecticut Ski Council (CSC)* only, and for no more than the price originally paid.
Ticket prices are negotiated with the Ski areas based on an estimated purchase volume for all Connecticut Ski Council member clubs. If this volume is not met, some tickets may not be offered.
Club membership cards with the current year's sticker must be available when redeeming vouchers for tickets. The resorts have the right to refuse redemption if no valid membership card is presented.
The CSC has the right to refuse entitlement of a CSC benefit to any club member who abuses the privilege, or is abusive to any ski area employee or CSC officer when the abuse concerns any promotion, discount ticket program, CSC Awareness Day, CSC Kids Day, or any other CSC function of event. This stipulation may be enacted by two or more officers of the CSC.
Distribution of tickets through other avenues such as but not limited to websites, eBay, or resort parking lots, will result in the banning of the individual from purchasing vouchers in subsequent seasons.
Violators of these rules will result in possible termination of the individual's membership in his/her club, and possible expulsion of the club from CSC.
Names of chronic or blatant individual violators will be provided to all CSC member ski clubs on an annual basis.
All tickets will be sold by the CSC to member clubs at the discounted face value of the voucher without additional fees of any kind
