Purchasing a Membership in Schuss Ski Club

Under the Articles of Association of Schuss Ski Club Ltd. people may join the Club only by buying the membership rights of a resigning member. The Club maintains a list of members who wish to sell. A public version of this list is posted on this website and is available from the Membership Secretary. The buyer and the resigning member are responsible for arranging the sale and negotiating sale price.

The document Purchase of Schuss Membership fully describes the process for joining Schuss. The following is a summary of the steps involved in the purchase of membership rights:

  1. The intending purchaser locates a member wanting to sell and the price of the transaction is agreed between them. No money changes hands at this time. The nature of the agreement is entirely the responsibility of the two parties (e.g. verbal, exchange of letters of intent, etc.).

  2. Obtain Board Approvals:

    The purchaser submits an application for membership to be considered and approved by the Schuss Board. Two proposers who are current Schuss members must support the application. If you don't know any I would strongly advise you to visit one of our Lodges and introduce yourself to the manager who will show you around and probably sign an application form for you. At the same time you will see one of the three lodges to which Schuss Membership gives you access. Of course there is no better way to understand Schuss and learn the advantages Membership has to offer than to stay in one or more of our lodges. If neither option is available to you please contact me (email or phone details on the right).

    The seller is required under Schuss' Articles of Association to notify the Board of the intention to sell the membership.

  3. When the Board approvals are in place, the purchaser pays the seller.

  4. The Schuss Membership Secretary is notified once the seller is satisfied regarding the payment (e.g., personal cheques cleared). The Membership Secretary will enter the name of the purchaser in the Register of Members of Schuss Ski Club Ltd, and forward a Membership Card.
