Cancellations

You may cancel your participation in the trip at any time, however, in accordance with our credit card policy, you will NOT be issued a refund from the GSC under any circumstances. However, you may sell your spot to another eligible person.

Exchanges: Tips for Sellers

If you can not go on the trip, you may find a replacement by Jan 6, 2008 at 11:59pm , however, you must follow these steps:

  1. Find a buyer. It can be a friend of yours, or if you don't know anyone you can send an email to IN PLAIN TEXT FORMAT to find one (webmail sends in plain text if you're confused). The members of this list are all looking for tickets.
  2. Arrange compensation for your ticket with the buyer.
    1. If your package is of the same value as the buyer's package, then the buyer simply owes you the cost of the package.
    2. If your package is cheaper than the buyer's package, then the buyer owes you the cost of your package, and he will be required to supply a credit card during the online exchange process to cover the difference.
    3. If your package is more expensive than the buyer's package, then you and the buyer should negotiate a fair price. You will not receive a partial refund from the GSC.

Exchanges: Tips for Buyers

If the trip sells out, then you may buy a ticket from someone who already paid for the trip and can no longer go (deadline: Jan 6, 2008 at 11:59pm ). We encourage you to find a seller who is selling a package of equal value to the one you are interested in purchasing. You must follow these steps in the exchange process:

  1. Find a seller. It can be a friend of yours, or if you don't know anyone you can add yourself to the mailing list to find one.
    1. The members of this list are other buyers such as yourself, so: Do not send an email to the mailing list asking for tickets.
    2. To join the list, send a blank email to . Or, you may join the list and view archives of emails sent to it at this page.
    3. Do NOT send an email to the ski trip organizers.
  2. Arrange payment with the seller.
    1. If your package is of the same value as the seller's package, then simply pay the seller the cost of the package.
    2. If your package is more expensive than the seller's package, then pay the seller the cost of his package, and you will be required to supply a credit card during the exchange process to cover the difference.
    3. If your package is cheaper than the seller's package, then you and the buyer should negotiate a fair price. Keep in mind that the seller will not receive a refund from the GSC for his loss.
  3. Wait for the switch code from your seller and use it to complete the switch online.
