Club members are restricted to skiing/snowboarding only on the proper slopes for their ability level. Lost blue, red, white, and black patches will be replaced only after regrading at the member s expense. Skiers/Snowboarders who do not have a matching patch and ID punch will not be sold at a discount lift ticket. MT.
