The "pay by" dates are very important. Due to rigidity in the Mammoth Lakes condo reservation system after the "pay by" date BSSC is required to pay the full rental cost for all condos we reserved months in advance. If there are insufficient number of people who have paid for the trip we must turn condos back. The "pay by" date is the last date we can make this decision.

 Mid-week Trips

The mid-week trips include

  • Five nights lodging at the Snow Flower condos
  • Jacuzzi & après ski events in the evenings (BYOB)
  • Light breakfasts

The mid week trip schedule and costs are:

  1. Feb 21 - 26, 2010              Drive up               $225        Pay by Jan 12, 2009
       Trip Leader Suzanne Goldman  714-964-0873   mrsg@socal.rr.com
     
  2. Mar 21 - 26, 2010              Drive up               $225        Pay by Feb 9, 2009
       Trip Leader Suzanne Goldman  714-964-0873   mrsg@socal.rr.com

All the three day bus trips depart from the Tee Room Parking lot in Newport Beach at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday. We leave the mountain at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday for the return trip. Trip fees include bus, two cocktail parties (BYOB), 3 nights lodging and optional daily bus to the mountain. We party on the way up and wind down on the way back. Most trips include movies on the bus both  up and back.

The drive-up trips are based on the arrangements made by the participants. The trip leader will try to help people make contacts for car pools. The gas costs will be shared by the passengers in each vehicle.

The Balboa Ski Club includes skiers of all levels from novice to expert. It includes non-racers and racers. Most  trip dates revolve around the Schusski race schedule.  The 2009 - 2010 Mammoth Mountain weekend ski trip dates are all Schusski race weekends. Racing is fun for ALL levels of skiing and a great way to to improve your abilities.

Non-members are welcome to join our Mammoth weekends for a modest fee. Non members are charged a $25 guest fee which can be applied to their membership fees if they join the club. Command Performance Sports in Mammoth gives our members a 20% discount.
