FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How much does it cost to join?
$30 single membership, $45 for a couple, $10 for each child. You must be a member to travel with the Twisters by completing a membership form and remitting the required fee.
Do you have to ski to join?
Heck no. We have loads of people who have never been on the slopes. Go for fun, to sit in front of the fire, to shop, to sightsee, to hang out. We also have many trips that do not involve snow. Check out our website for all the great trips.
While our winter trips are primarily to Ski Country — we have summer trips and trips with no snow involved. We have had trips to six continents and numerous countries. They range from African safaris to tours of Ireland.
Do I have to pay all at once for trips?
We announce the trip way in advance, usually at the end of the summer. There will be a cutoff date for a deposit, and then the Trip Captain gives the date that all money has to be in. Generally, you will have months to plan for the adventure?
What about children?
The club is great for family trips. The kids get ski lessons, get to hang out and ski with other kids, and you have a whole club watching out for them. You never have to worry about family arguments. They are having too much fun
What is a Trip Captain?
Each trip has a person in charge — the Captain — who gets the room rates, takes the deposits, makes the hotel reservations, get lift tickets, makes arrangements, and pays the bills. The trip captain gets a discount on the trip to compensate for all the hard work that goes into planning a trip.
Who can be a Captain?
Anybody in the club who wants to run a trip. If you have hotel contacts, resort contacts, know a place you want to go — you could be the next Captain!
What are the advantages of traveling with the Twisters?
You save money. You get to travel with fun people. You don’t have to worry about reservations and details.
Our club is a member of the Texas Ski Council — along with clubs across the state. Our total membership of about 5,000 people gives us the buying power for great discounts on lodging, lift tickets, and activities. A lot of singles like it because they are tired of traveling alone and paying for single occupancy. For families it is great to have kids from other families coming along. AND, most important — the trip Captain takes care of everything. You arrive and are handed a packet of everything you need
