All,

The NJSC is pleased to offer a very exciting trip to Jay Peak for the 2009 Ski Season. We are going in March of 2009 and Jay Peak is known to have some of the best snow in the northeast at that time of year. The pricing is very attractive and the trip should fill up quickly.

We have reserved 15 rooms, so please try to make your reservation early.

The Executive Board of the NJSC requests that you send the attachments to your individual clubs.

Thanks and we look forward to seeing you at the first meeting of the 2008-2009 ski season on September 8th.

The attached form should accompany all deposits for the trip.

Please call me (Kathy Mancini @ 732-870-2512) if you have any questions~

Craigmeur Ski Club Members -

As of September 27, 2007, NJSC has been officially notified that there will be NO Killington or Pico voucher program for the 2007-2008 season.  Attached is a copy of the official letter received from Killington ownership.  NJSC 2007 Killington voucher info

Vouchers returned from the 2006-2007 ski season will be up-gradable for THIS SEASON ONLY.  After 2007-2008, Killington & Pico will NOT honor any NJSC vouchers.

Craigmeur Ski Club recommends all members to begin evaluating alternating ticket purchase programs if your plans include skiiing at Killington or Pico.  The first place to begin searching is the Killington web site under group tickets.  Another alternative is the mEticket program, offering advance purchase option at a discount to point of sale pricing.

Please share any information found concerning discount Killington / Pico lift tickets with all other Craigmeur Ski Club members.

April 29, 2007

DEADLINE FOR NJSC VOUCHER RETURNS IS WEDNESDAY MAY 09, 2007 !!

Don’t let your 2006-2007 NJSC vouchers become worthless, turn them in for an up-grade to a 2007-2008 NJSC voucher.

You can return your un-used NJSC vouchers in person to Chris Budd on Wednesday May 02, 2007 at the Craigmeur End of Season Party at The Exchange.

If you cannot return your vouchers in person on May 02, please contact Chris Budd via email @ skijcb@hotmail.com to get the necessary mailing information to return your vouchers by the deadline.

PICO vouchers were collected and returned to NJSC on April 09, 2007 as required by the resort due to change of ownership.

Killington & Pico changed ownership in April 2007 and NJSC is waiting to hear what the new ownership’s voucher policy will be.  NJSC hopes there is little or no change in the way vouchers are purchased / used / up-graded.  More information will be shared as it becomes available.

Welcome, NJ Ski Council | No Comments »

All PICO vouchers must be in Chris Bud’s hands by SUNDAY APRIL 08, 2007. Afterwards you will not be able to return them and they will be unusable. Sorry, no exception.

Please be aware that there is a change of ownership for Killington/Pico and this announcement should not be taken lightly.

This is a one-shot deal. The NJ Ski Council can only return 1 batch of vouchers to the mountain. Thus, we need to do everything possible to get in all of these tickets ASAP.
Please give your vouchers to Chris Bud at this Wednesdays meeting.
