General Trip Info
The ski season has returned to normal. No more Covid waivers. However, the standard ABSF wavier that needs to be signed still needs to be signed once each year.
ABSF needs volunteers to be Trip Leaders. Please consider signing up to help lead a trip so that we can make all the planned trips happen. If you can be a trip leader please contact Joe Ferrick at Joeyxboat1@gmail.com
Day Trip Procedures
Skiers and guides must register and preferably pay online at ABSF.ORG. Online registration will be closed the Tuesday before the ski date. The earlier you sign up the better the chance of our finding a successful pairing for the event.
