Anyone with volunteer reward points will be able to redeem them until the Corn Roast on August 27. After this date, the A2 ski club will open a club store where different items can be purchased. Please contact Lisa Salisbury to redeem your points for merchandise and also find out how many you have. Click here to see the rewards flyer.

Sports
America offers us a portal for buying IKON and EPIC passes. See the links
below. We get a 6% rebate on your purchase price that is applied to the
cost of any ski trips you take next year. If you have questions, contact
Jim Kelly.
Please note that for some trips, including Snowmass/Aspen, buying lift tickets as part of the trip package, will be MUCH cheaper than buying an IKON pass.
