1. The
trips offered by Gateway Ski are not guided or escorted trips. While we will
make every effort to make certain that your airline tickets are correct, you
will be responsible for checking them against the itinerary to ensure they are
correct with respect to the dates and schedules. We can correct them here in
the U.S. prior to departure, but once you are at your destination, it can get
expensive to make changes. Gateway Ski will not reimburse you for any
additional expenses.
2. In nearly every case, any deviation from the tour itinerary
will have a charge. All deviation requests must be made in writing and
accompanied by payment at the time they are requested. We buy from Brokers,
not travel agents. They deal in bulk and not individual itineraries.
3. Our European contracts are offered based on the existing
exchange rate. If the Euro goes up, our costs will go up proportionately. If
it goes down, our costs will go down. In short, if we get surcharged by the
hotels and airlines, that increased cost or savings will be passed along. That
has not happened recently, but just be aware.
4. Space is available on a first come / first served basis. As
usual, we will be unable to accommodate “frequent flyer” or ground only requests
except when offered. One of the primary reasons we are able to have such
reasonable costs is that we purchase package trips.
5. Please note the cancellation schedule:
a. $250.00 from your deposit is non-refundable!
b. After 120 days prior to departure an additional $100.00
is non-refundable
c. After 60 days prior to departure, 50 % of the cost is
non-refundable.
d. After 30 days prior to departure, in addition to the above
amounts, the cost of the land portion of the package is non-refundable.
e. Any cancellation deadlines imposed by the travel
organizations, hotels or airlines utilized on our trips will be made part of our
policy. If they deviate from the above, you will be notified.
6. The European trip is offered for the entire itinerary which
will include any extended stopovers scheduled. If you choose to return home
after the skiing portion only, there may be additional charges to transport you
to the airport for your return home. You will be responsible for any extra
charges for transfers to and from the departure airport.
7. Any refunds will be made 30 days after the close of the last
trip scheduled for the ski season.
