Membership Fee and Bus Fare

Five Winds Backcountry Club is a non-profit, entirely volunteer runned club. Membership and bus fares are entirely based on meeting the club's annual expenses

We encourage everyone to comply with the times for reserving and cancelling. Good things happen and unexpectedly you have a last minute opportunity to come skiing so by all means do come, but generally please try to remember to make your reservation on time. Ditto for cancellations

Preseason Surprises: Our bus doesn’t start until January, but we sometimes get an earlier dump. Check the bus line for car pooling or leave a message with your suggestions and they may be incorporated in the bus line message.
