Due to the unseasonably warm temperatures this winter, Discovery Ski Club only attended three out of the seven scheduled trips for this season.  Therefore, a transportation refund of $31.44 will be mailed to all Ski Club members soon.

The refund is calculated as follows:

Transportation Fee $55.00

Price per trip $7.86

Four trips @ $7.86 = $31.44
