The opportunity to use the
Chalet (property of the Trustees of the San Diego Ski Chalet) is a benefit of
club membership and a privilege. Accordingly, everyone who uses the Chalet must
know how to use it properly. To help accomplish this end, the following rules
and guidelines as well as the Chalet Rules posted in the entry at the Chalet
must be understood and followed by all users:
1. Reservations
– You MUST have a reservation to stay at the Chalet. You may make a
reservation online any time before your arrival. Or, you may call ahead at
least 36 hours in advance of your trip for reservations, leaving the following
information: Your name, phone number, dates you wish to stay, number of people
in your party and identify members/guests. You as a member are responsible for
paying for the entire party, including guests, and sending payment for your
stay PROMPTLY upon return. If you do not pay promptly a late fee will be assessed
and you will be required to prepay BEFORE DEPARTURE for your next trip.
2. Cancellation
– If your plans change and you are not going to stay a night that you
have reserved, you must log in and cancel, or call and cancel BEFORE 6PM of the
night reserved or you owe for each night not cancelled.
3. Payment
– If you did not prepay, send payment within 5 days of return, otherwise
a $10.00 Late Fee will be assessed. Paypal mandolfhaus@gmail.com or make a check
payable to "San Diego Ski Club Chalet," include date(s) of stay and
send to the Chalet Manager at the address listed in the Roster and Newsletters.
4. Guests
– Members are responsible for guest behavior. All guests must be
accompanied by a sponsoring member. Guests may not arrive at the Chalet before
or stay at the Chalet after the departure of the sponsoring member. Guest fees
for use of the Chalet are the sponsor's responsibility. Bring guests whom you
would leave alone at your house.
5. Entry
– The key to the front door is in a lock box on the door. To open the
lock box, enter the correct combination and push down on the top button. The
key will release. Re-enter the code and reinstall the key in the lock box. Lock
the door after you enter. This provides security to those sleeping, knowing
that only members with the code can get in.
6. Registration
– Every person (or adult sponsor) using the Chalet, including guests, must
sign the register/waiver upon arrival.
7. Accommodations
– All Chalet users shall bring their own sleeping bag, or blankets, and
pillow. No sleeping in the lounge. Men shall not sleep on the women's side just
because no one is there. You do not know who is coming up or when they will
arrive.
8. Thermostat
– If you are the first to arrive or get up in the morning, set the thermostat
on the wall by the men's dorm to a comfortable setting (65 to 72 degrees), after
10PM set it to 50 degrees. When the last person leaves the Chalet, set it to 50
degrees.
9. Life/Safety
- Exit lights must be left ON while the Chalet is occupied. Do not block the
emergency exits at the back of each dorm. Fire extinguishers are located in
each dorm and in the lounge.
10. Air
Conditioning - During warmer weather, for fresh air, open the windows. Remember
to close them before you leave.
11. Water
Heater – The water heater is a tankless heater in the women's bath and
requires no adjustment. Leave it alone.
12. Water
Valves - DO NOT PLAY WITH ANY OF THE VALVES UNDER THE SINKS IN THE BATHROOMS!
If there is a problem, call the Chalet Manager on the phone, or call the
plumber listed on the wall of the entry.
13. Parking
– Parking is tight. If you do not have a reservation at the Chalet, do
not park at the Chalet. Park in plowed spots, alongside the Chalet, or at the
end of the road. Do not block others in with your vehicle, if you do, be
prepared to be awakened early to move it. If there is no room to park at the
Chalet, you may need to unload your vehicle and find a parking lot in town. Do
not park on a public street or the snow plow operator will have it towed away.
Do not park at San Juaquin Villas.
14. Snow
Plow – During the winter the snow plow clears a roadway through the
parking lot, quite often early in the morning before people get up. Please do
not block the access road. If you get snowed in you must wait for the plow to
arrive.
15. Out of
Control Children - We welcome children, but they need to behave and obey their
parents. Children running, shouting, being obnoxious and not obeying their
parents, or being disrespectful to other Chalet users is not acceptable.
Failure will result in denial of future reservations. Children shall never be
left alone in the Chalet. You could be reported to Child Protective Services
for doing so.
16. Empty
Bunks - Extra gear should be stowed under the bunk, in the cubbies, or on the
hangers above. It is very disconcerting for a person coming in late at night to
find gear spread out over 2 or 3 bunks. If you are occupying several bunks,
latecomers have permission to place your gear on the floor and use the bunk.
17. Food and
Cooking – NO COOKING! NO MICROWAVES! Only hot water (for tea, cocoa,
oatmeal, etc.) or coffee prep is allowed, in the entryway. If you bring food
put it in a mouse proof container. Please limit the amount of food you bring. Food
is only to be stored in the entryway and space is limited. NO food is allowed
in the SLEEPING AREA because of possible rodent problems (rats and mice),
Hantavirus from mouse droppings leads to sickness and death. Clean up when you
are finished eating! DO NOT leave any food or coolers outside on the porch, in
the snow, or in your car. We don't want to greet a bear when we are trying to
get in or out.
18. Trash -
Food will not be left in trash baskets to smell bad and attract rodents. If the
trash baskets fill up during your stay, take the full trash bags to your car to
be disposed of on your next drive out of the parking lot. When you clean up the
Chalet for departure, empty all trash baskets into a big trash bag and
take the trash bag with you. Leave all trash baskets with new (and empty) paper
or plastic bags. Info regarding
disposing of trash is POSTED.
19. Smoking
– Absolutely NO SMOKING within the Chalet.
20. Alcohol
– No excessive drinking of alcoholic beverages. We don't need to deal
with a drunk. It will just drive good members away.
21. Pornography
– If you bring pornography, your membership in the San Diego Ski Club is
terminated.
22. Pets
– Pets are not allowed inside the Chalet. This includes all pets. Other
guests may have allergies.
23. Quiet
Hours – Quiet hours are 10PM to 6AM. Arrive/leave quietly during these
hours. Be courteous. Turn cell phones off after 10PM.
24. Cleaning
– The chalet is a do it yourself operation. You must clean up when you
leave or coordinate with all persons staying there to clean up some portion as
your share of the chores. Cleaning equipment and supplies are in both dorms for
your use. Leaving clean up for someone else is the wrong attitude. It's your
Chalet. The work list is located in the entryway or lounge.
25. Security
– If you are the last one out, lock the doors and windows. If you are not
sure, or others are still asleep, lock the door.
You agree that if you violate
these rules, you will lose Chalet privileges for the balance of the year, at a
minimum. Additionally you agree that failure to read and understand these, and
other posted rules of the Chalet, is not an excuse for not following them.
