Travel this winter

Hello everyone, I know it is only August but I thought I would share the various Yukon Ski Team trip travel dates with all of you in case some of you wanted to use point's ticket, flight pass or a flight credit for travel this year. I know the selection process will not take place for a few more months, but some of you may want to book travel knowing that you would most likely qualify for a specific trip. In the eventuality of a seat sale, this information will be useful for booking travel. In the next month, if a seat sale becomes available, I will sent a note to let family know of the opportunity.
