Policies

Refunds

Refunds are made at the sole discretion of the SPAC Board of Directors based on the circumstances
under which the request for any refund is made. All requests for refunds must be made in writing to an
officer of the club (President, Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer) who will acknowledge the date the
request was received. Any approved refunds will be made according to the following schedule:
A $200 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of registration. Until November 14 th , the entire season
tuition fee is refundable, EXCEPT for the $200 non-refundable deposit. From November 15 until
December 14, up to 75% of the season tuition fee is refundable, EXCEPT for the $200 non-refundable
deposit. From December 15 until January 14, up to 50% of the season tuition fee is refundable, EXCEPT
the $200 deposit. From January 15 through the end of the season, any refunds will be made at the sole
discretion of the SPAC Board of Directors and are given only for serious illness or physical injury to the
athlete that will inhibit their ability to participate in the program for a substantial portion of the
remainder of the season. The refund amount will be based on the fraction of the season that has
elapsed at the time notification has been received and acknowledged as described above.
By way of example, if the total season tuition fee is $2,000 and a refund is asked for as of December 10 th ,
the maximum refund calculation would function as follows:
$2,000 season tuition x 50% = $1,000 – $200 non-refundable deposit = $800 refund.
All refunds are subject to further reduction for any balances due outside the tuition calculation, such as
van rides or apparel purchased.

COVID

We are optimistic that we will have a full season of skiing and training. However, given the uncertainties
of the COVID-19 Pandemic, we are mindful things may change. Should the season be interrupted or
canceled due to COVID-19, we will generally follow the refund schedule shown above but are committed
to refunding additional portions of tuition, while maintaining the longer term continuity of SPAC for the
years ahead. Many factors will influence exactly how much will be returned in addition to any amounts
due under the above schedule and all decisions will be based on the principle of returning as much as
possible to families while ensuring the continued viability of SPAC.
