How to sign up for a trip: For each of the above listed trips, fill out a TRIP RELEASE FORM (please complete 1 form for each trip you would like to take, e.g. 2 trips = 2 forms), which is available for download.  You also need to be a current LPSC member.  LPSC Membership forms are available for download on the Join page, if needed.  Print out, fill in the form(s) and bring them with your check(s) to one of our Club Meetings at John Barleycorn.  Make all checks payable to "Lincoln Park Ski Club".  Do NOT send payments to the LPSC P.O. Box, as that could delay or even deny a spot on a trip.

If you are unable to attend one of the Club Meetings at John Barleycorn's, you can email the Trips Director at trips@lincolnparkskiclub.org to get in touch with the trip leader directly.

Waiting List:  During ski season, our trips often sell out fast.  If you have missed out on the trip you wanted, please contact us to be placed on the waiting list.  Cancellations can occur and you still have a chance of getting on the trip of your choice.  To get wait-listed you must make out a check for the full amount.  This check will not be deposited until a slot opens up and you agree to fill it.

For additional questions regarding our trips, please email the Trips Director at trips@lincolnparkskiclub.org
