Credits can be applied to any of our services or to extend or plan your next stay with us.  The amount of vertical feet skied during a week is determined by the amount skied by the group.  E.g., if you choose to ski a partial day or not at all, your vertical will be based on the amount of vertical achieved by your group at the week’s end, as this skiing was available to you.  This is our policy with all of our helicopter or snowcat packages when the vertical guarantee applies.
