In these circumstances, members should contact the Booking Officer offline to check whether individual bookings can be taken, and also to register interest in being placed on a waiting list in case of cancellations.
COVID-19 – Implications for Ski Club Operations
As we are sure you are all aware, COVID-19 is having a dramatic global impact as Governments seek to understand the nature of this Virus, its impact, and sensible sustainable response measures that should be implemented. The Club Directors have been assessing Club operations cognisant of Australian Government (Federal and State) directions and guidance, including the latest advice regarding limitations on indoor gatherings. As a result, we have determined to close the lodges to members and their guests from now until the June long weekend opening of the ski season. All bookings for this period will be fully refunded.
We will continue to take bookings for our three lodges for the ski season. We will be reassessing the capacity of the lodges based on current Government space density policies and will review these further if the Government changes these limitations.
If necessary due to any changed capacity, we will cancel any over-limit bookings, based on ‘Last In First Out’ (LIFO) assessed by date and time of booking, which is recorded in Club System. Depending on the circumstances we may call for volunteers to cancel bookings.
If any members wish to cancel bookings already made, our normal cancellation policy will apply, noting that extraordinary cancellation provisions detailed in our By-Laws would apply if an individual booking cannot be continued because of:
- quarantine directions for a diagnosed case of COVID -19,
- a Government self-isolation direction, or
- written medical advice that the booked person cannot travel because of high vulnerability to COVID-19.
If the Directors are obliged to close a Lodge for a period because of Government or Lodge Lessor direction, or a decision by a Resort Operator to cease operations at the resort, full refunds will be granted for bookings during that period.
