Berkeley Ski Club Dues and Fees

Annual dues: $150 annual dues, payable at the beginning of the ski year on October 15.

If a member doesn't complete the Service Requirement (described in the Member Guide), their Annual dues are increased by a $150 Service in-lieu fee.

Work weekend requirement: A member is required to participate in a work weekend during the ski year (which runs from 10/15 to the next 10/15) OR pay a $125 in-lieu fee. If you decide to skip the work weekend and just pay the $125 in-lieu fee, you need to pay it by the following October 15, so you can pay it with your dues for the upcoming year.

Nightly fee: $14 per night for you to stay in the lodge. Members can use pre-paid eVouchers, available for $120 for 10 nights (such a deal!). You can bring a limited number of guests (adults and children ages 5 and up), for $42 (or three eVouchers paid by a BSC member) per night per guest. During the high season (Nov. 16 - April 14), on Fridays, Saturdays, holidays and the night preceding holidays, the lodge is reserved for adults 18 and over. Children from 5 to 17 may stay at the lodge at other all other times. Children under 5 are not allowed at the lodge. Parents are responsible for the behavior of their children.

Initiation: New members pay a one-time non-refundable Initiation Fee of $150.
Deposit: New members pay a refundable Deposit of $200. That Deposit is refunded (less any amounts owed by the member) when the member leaves the Club.

Summary: So if you don't bother with the work weekend, and don't bring guests, it will cost you $275/year plus $14 night.

How Do I Pay

Annually: The easiest way is through our BSC Store, accessed through the Members-Only page. Once you've signed in, the Store will tell you what you owe, and you can pay with a credit card. Don't believe in credit cards? Send a check for $275 ($150 + $125) (or $150 if you did a work weekend this year) to the Membership Records person. His(her) address will be in several of the Newsletters leading up to the October 15 deadline, or you can send an email to Records@BerkeleySkiClub.org and ask.

If the Membership Records person won't receive your check by October 15, add a $25 late fee. If you don't get your check to Membership Records by November 15, you're probably too late. We will give your slot to someone else on the 16th.

By Stay: When you arrive at the Lodge, you will sign the register, pick out your bed, sign up for a chore, and log in using our new (October 2019) computer-based CheckIn system. You'll enter how many nights you're planning to stay, and the number of folks in your group. You'll pay for your stay with a Credit Card or pre-purchased eVouchers.
