Trip Overview

SIGN UP BY FEBRUARY 7 AND SAVE $30!

March is an awesome time to ski and ride, with the days getting longer and the temps a little higher but still the snowiest month along with a season’s pile of snowpack from Sunday River’s famous snowmaking! So join us for 2 days of great skiing and riding across 8 peaks and boundary to boundary terrain for all levels.  We will be staying 2 nights slope-side at THE premier accommodations, the Grand Summit Resort, true ski in-ski out, with outdoor heated pool and hot tubs, fitness room, arcade, restaurant and more. Sign up early and don’t miss out!

Please note that you must purchase your lift tickets directly through Sunday River.  Upon registration with BSSC, you will receive a group discount for your lift tickets that will range from 5-15% off the online price, depending on when you purchase them.  The earlier you purchase, the bigger your savings.

Things to know

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the demographics on BSSC trips?

In general, BSSC trips are designed for adults, 21 or older.*
For overnight travel the ages range from twenties to fifties, with a mix of couples, groups of friends, and singles travelling solo. Sometimes the more adventurous or strenuous the activity, the younger the crowd might skew. With exotic or more costly arrangements, you are likely to find a few more “well-seasoned travelers” mixed in as they check off their bucket list! BSSC trips are about us taking care of all the details, so you can just enjoy yourself, and perhaps experience something new, with like-minded people.

*The participation of minors is considered on a case by case basis at the discretion of the Ski & Travel Director. Minors are permitted on BSSC Day Ski & Snowboard trips. Check the day ski trip policies for more details.

Is it easy to go on a BSSC trip by myself?

Yes! BSSC makes it easy and economical for the solo traveler. Our lodging options are spelled out clearly for each trip giving you the choice of room that best fits your needs.

What are the rooming arrangements for overnight weekend and vacation trips?

BSSC traditionally offers “minimum occupancy”. Whether in a hotel or condo, it is typically two per room, and you each get your own bed. Nobody has to sleep on a pullout or rollaway. Select trips may also offer lower prices for triple and quad occupancy.

Single rooms may be available upon request for an additional fee. If traveling solo, we will match you with a roommate of the same gender and approximate age, or you may request to room with a friend or significant other of any gender.

For overnight weekend and vacation trips, how far in advance do I need to register?

For BSSC overnight travel, booking 3-4 weeks in advance is recommended. For week-long vacations, book early to guarantee your spot and get the best rates. Ski vacations are usually announced in the summer at a $100-$150 savings. Check each trip for specific deadlines and policies. The closer the travel date, the more complex and costly it might be to procure accommodations and/or airfare.

Are there any group discounts for overnight weekend and vacation trips?

Yes, we make it easy for you and a group of your friends to go with us and save. For more info, please contact randy@bssc.com

Can I cancel an overnight weekend or vacation and get a refund?

Refunds are possible – policies vary depending on the type of trip and timing of your cancellation. The closer you are to departure, the less likely we will be able to refund you 100%. Cancellations are subject to the regulations and cancellation fees set by BSSC, tour operators, and agents carrying out services. There is no refund for unused services. Please check specific policies for your trip. We also recommend that vacationers purchase travel insurance and can provide more info upon request.
