Club registration takes place exclusively online. There is no in-person or
mail-in registration. We use Zone4
as the site that we
have chosen to host our registration. Most communication will be via
e-mail or through our web site so, once you have registered and provided us with
an e-mail address that you would like to use for all club communication, please keep us updated with any e-mail
address changes by e-mail to
hollyburn_jackrabbits@hotmail.com.
Registration Process
Follow the steps below in order to register with the club. Please be sure to
read all the details on this page before registering.
- New Members
If you have never registered before, e-mail
us your mailing address, telephone number and the e-mail address that you
prefer to use for all club communications.
- Club and Program Review
Familiarize yourself with the registration process and fees on this page, our
programs,
the club
schedule for this season and the volunteer
opportunities. Review these even if you are a returning member since changes often take place from
season to season.
- Online Registration
Registration is available online only and only via the form that is
accessed by the web site link that we send you. No phone-in, e-mail, mail or fax registrations
will be accepted.
In September we send out a registration notification e-mail to anyone
that has been a club member in the previous two seasons and to new members
that have sent us their contact information (see step 1 above). Read the
details in that e-mail, select either the early or regular registration
period (see Registration Dates below for details) and,
during the appropriate registration period, click on the registration link
in that e-mail and complete the online registration form. Please read all
instructions carefully as there is a 15% processing charge on any
refunds that we need to send out due to mistakes by the registrant (to cover
the fees that the club is charged).
The family membership will again be
available for the entire family, or you can select individual memberships for
each adult or child (see below for prices). Remember,
every Jackrabbit/bunny, each volunteer and at least one adult per family must
register as a member.
You may
pay by credit card or cheque. If you pay by cheque, your registration will not
be accepted until your cheque has been received. Make it payable to
"Hollyburn Jackrabbit Ski Club" and mail it to:
Hollyburn Jackrabbit Ski Club
P.O. Box 16101
Lynn Valley Postal Outlet
North Vancouver, BC V7J 3S9
- Confirmations
You will receive an automatic confirmation from Zone4 to verify that we
have received your registration. Our registrar will review every
registration and you may be contacted if there are issues with it. A final
club registration confirmation will be sent out by the club some time after
the registration period has closed confirming that we have processed and
accepted your registration.
- Pass Purchase
All program participants, bunny parents who ski with their children and club coaches are responsible for purchasing
their own trail passes for, at the very least, the days of the program sessions. All
pass and equipment rental purchases must be done
directly through Cypress
Mountain. The best options are:
- Group Rate Season Pass
Due to the 2010 Winter Olympics that have led to a closure of Cypress
Mountain for all of February and some of March, group passes are not
available this season. The cheapest season pass option is the Cypress
2010 Commemorative Season Pass, which is selling out quickly. Contact Cypress
Mountain for further details.
- Seven-Session Pass
This trail pass is available to club members only and is purchased
online. It is valid only on the days of your
weekend program session. It has an equipment rental option as well. Purchase instructions are sent out with the final club
confirmation of your registration. Note that there is no special weekday
pass available and the best option for those that ski weekdays is a
season pass.
Passes must be purchased and picked up before the first ski
session. Cypress will be very busy on the first day and there will not
be enough time to pick up passes.
- Ski Equipment
All program members, bunny parents who ski with their children and club coaches are responsible for purchasing or
renting their own skis, boots and poles (classic technique equipment). Check
our club
schedule for the date of our annual ski swap at Sigge's
or the date of our annual AGM at Deep
Cove Outdoors , which will offer a club discount night on that evening.
If you prefer to rent, you can choose this as an option when purchasing
nine-session trail passes. Please note:
- Jackbunny and Jackrabbit level 1 - no ski poles are needed.
- Track Attack and Racing Programs - skate ski equipment is also
required.
Volunteers do the registration work. Your diligence and cooperation in completing the
online forms will save them work and their valuable time.
Registration Dates
Note that registration is still being finalized. Exact dates will be
posted once they are available.
Early Registration
Late September, 2009 at midnight
Early registration will be available to families of the following volunteers
only:
- Coaches (Teen, Racing Program and weekday-only coaches must contact the club first)
- Session Coordinators (must contact the club first)
- Club Secretary (must contact the club first)
- Treasurer (must contact the club first)
- Web Site Manager (must contact the club first)
Early registration also entitles you to a 50% discount on the program fees
for the Skills Development Program (Bunnies, Jackrabbits and Track Attack). These
fees are discounted during the early registration period only. If you register
as a coach after the early registration period, you will not receive the
discount.
Your registration will be cancelled with a 15% penalty if you register
early and do not sign up for one of these positions.
Regular Registration
Early October, 2009
These sessions tend to fill very quickly once regular registration opens.
Sunday sessions have filled in as little as an hour in previous seasons.
Consider a Saturday session. Better yet, consider coaching so that you can
register early.
Cypress limits us to 60 skiers per session. If we do not have enough coaches
registering, then we may need to limit these numbers even further. See our
volunteer
page for further details on coaching.
2009/10 Registration Fees
Club fees are kept as low as possible but are required
in order to pay for the operation of the club, insurance, Cross
Country B.C. membership and coach training amongst other items. The
club charges the following fees:
- Membership Fee
This mandatory fee must be paid by each registering member, including
program registrants, volunteers (including coaches and excluding those
families who volunteer only) and bunny parents who ski with their children.
Choose either the Family Membership option or the Individual
Membership option. At least one adult per family must register as a
club member. Memberships are non-transferable.
- Raffle Fee
This fee must be paid by each family (excluding those volunteering
only). It is recouped by selling a booklet of 15 raffle tickets. You can
"sell" these to yourself if you do not wish to sell them to
family, friends and neighbours, but all booklets must be returned sold. Note
that we must hold a raffle each year in order to qualify for lottery
funding.
- Program Fee
Fees are charged for each of the programs that we offer. There is a 50%
discount for coaches and session coordinators that register during the early
registration period.
- Trail Passes and Equipment Rental (Cypress)
These fees are set by and paid to Cypress Mountain directly. Cypress
manages the cross country ski area and is completely independent from the
Hollyburn Jackrabbit Ski Club. All coaches, bunny
parents skiing with children and program participants must purchase trail
passes from Cypress.
Please note the following:
- In addition to anyone signing up for a club program, at least one adult per family must register as a member.
For the Bunny program, this adult must be the one accompanying the child.
- Due to the additional skiing that they will be doing, race program,
Jackrabbit levels 3 and 4, Track Attack and Teens on Skis program
registrants should purchase a season pass from Cypress. The seven-session
pass will not suffice.
- There will be a 15% charge for refunds required
due to errors made by the registrant during online registration. This is
to cover the fees charged to the club by Zone4
and the credit card
companies.
