Membership types
We have three levels of membership, Social, Base and Summit:
Social members enjoy the social benefits of being involved in the club, and receive the club newsletter. This level of membership is intended for members who wish to keep in contact with the club while not actively participating. For example travelling overseas, or injured. No discount for lift tickets and accommodation.
New Members have one off Admin fee of $50 when joining the CV club, they are then a Base member.
Base membership costs $150p/a and gets approximately 35% discounts off non-member rate on lift passes and accommodation, as well as the benefits of a social membership. A base member can buy a season pass for $450.
Summit membership costs $150p/a and completes 2 work parties per year, or our buy out option (cost of $300). Summit members get approximately 50% discount off non-member rate on lift tickets and accommodation, and can buy a season pass for $350. All work parties carried out for the club counts towards summit membership or is reimbursed in the form of vouchers for accommodation or skiing.
