Then you will need to upgrade your membership if you return to ski. This membership is only valid for that weekend, then it expires. There is no personal insurance with this membership.
(see Membership menu)
Cost for Return Skiers (2 options) –
*Who take out the Social Membership of $26.00 p/day, your ski costs are $50.00 for 2 skis. Therefore, the total cost is $76.00 p/ski day.
This membership is for skiers who only want to ski at 1 or 2 of our ski days. This membership is only valid for that weekend, then it expires. There is no personal insurance with this membership.
*Who take out the Introductory Membership of $125.00 p/season, your ski costs are $40.00 for 2 skis. So, you only pay $125.00 once & then $40.00 p/ski day you book, for 2 skis.
This membership is for skiers who are skiing at 3 or more of our ski days. Another benefit of this membership is you only have to complete the membership form once, as it doesn’t expire until 30 September and you have personal accident insurance.
(see Membership menu)
Extra skis (more than your 2 skis) are only available if time & conditions are permitting.
The above costs have been subsidised by our Club.
WE HAVE 10 SKIER POSITIONS AVAILABLE PER SKI DAY.
It will be open to the first 10 people who contact me & forward their membership/insurance form & payment to myself. Receiving payment & membership form secures your spot. So first in, first booked!
Funds will NOT be refunded if you are a no-show.

We will also have to adhere to the COVID conditions that are required at the time, but these will be advised to those people who will be attending the ski day.

WE ALSO NEED 5-7 VOLUNTEERS TO HELP RUN THE DAY, SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE ONE OF OUR VOLUNTEERS OR IF ANYONE CAN BRING A FAMILY MEMBER OR FRIEND TO HELP OUT ON THE DAY, IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. Please let Sharon know. Disabled Water Skiing is keen for more volunteers to join us!!
If we don’t have enough volunteers to help run the day then we will have to cancel the day, unfortunately.
