When returning tickets either via mail or in person:
ALL tickets must be in an envelope and that envelope must identify:
- Primary Members Name,
- Primary Member Number,
- Address,
- Phone Number
- Email address
The envelope must indicate the number of tickets being returned for each Mountain
and age category in addition to the total overall number of tickets being returned.
Example: 11 returned tickets:
- 4 Okemo Adult,
- 3 Okemo Senior,
- 2 Mount Snow Adult,
- 2 Stowe Jr.
We strongly encourage members to take a photo of the details listed on their return envelope in
addition to photos of each ticket returned to include the ticket number so that they have a record of
what tickets were returned.
**********************************************************************************
Please remember that full credit for tickets
is not guaranteed and it is very likely that if
there are a lot of returned tickets that full
credit will not be received. Also remember that both
Okemo and Sunapee will also be assessing a $1 charge
for each ticket that is returned against the credit amount
that is allowed. Both the Board and the CSC encourage
you to use your tickets if you can between now and
April 28, 2018 as there is still plenty of snow on the ground up north.

The following mountains are using RFID cards this year as part of their Bulk Buy Lift Ticket Program: Okemo, Mt. Sunapee & Sugarbush.
If you have Bulk Buy Vouchers for these mountains, please be sure to read the rules & regulations page for the use of the RFID card before going to the mountain.
The bulk ticket program is designed to give ski club members an opportunity to purchase lift tickets for the upcoming season at reduced rates. These savings can amount to 30%-40% of the retail lift ticket price. The vouchers for these tickets are ordered in September and delivered in November. These vouchers are presented to the ski resort by the club member along with their membership ID and exchanged for the appropriate lift tickets. Any unused vouchers can be turned in at the end of the ski season for credit towards new vouchers for the same mountain next year. Not all mountains give 100% credit every year. Please read all the rules and regulations before buying vouchers.
Please see the FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions below and the the Rules & Regulations sheet to get learn more about this program.

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 vouchers, which have NO BLACK OUT DATES, for use during the coming ski season. These tickets and vouchers are for your use 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 do I need to know before purchasing Vouchers?

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.
Are Bulk Buy Tickets 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 tickets for. The CSC Awareness Days are 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.
