2010 Prices

Unfortunately the BCMG has had to increase the cost of Winter Parties this year. This has been due to the increasing cost of fresh food, fuel, transport and insurance. The BCMG's desire is to keep the costs of Winter Parties low, while still being able to maintain the chalet to a high standard.

Half Weeks!

The BCMG has decided to offer Half Week Winter Parties this year over the week 8 period. Two options are offered, from Saturday 14th to Wednesday 18th August and Wednesday 18th to Saturday 21st August. Operating like a regular winter party, only shorter, they will offer great spring skiing for those who can only get a few days off work. Half weeks will not be available for any other winter party.
