U.S. Border Crossing Information

Cedar Springs Ski Club Inc. includes U.S. resort destinations on the trip schedule. All members and their guests must have the necessary documentation required to cross the border into the U.S. and to return to Canada. Cedar Springs Ski Club Inc. accepts no responsibility for members and their guests who are unable to cross the border due to lack of sufficient documentation.

Please be responsible and check the documentation required for either Canadian citizens or Non-Canadian citizens in advance, and also check what food items you can bring into the United States for personal use, (to avoid delays and/or penalties), reference https://www.cbp.gov/travel

A valid PASSPORT (recommended) or Enhanced Driver’s License or NEXUS Card. Your regular driver’s license is not deemed suitable identification.
Children under the age of 18 must be accompanied by an adult, parent or guardian and must have requisite documentation. Reference: Children and travel – Travel.gc.ca

Without proper documentation, we request that you do not board the bus in Burlington.

What You Can’t Bring Across the Border:

The following are restricted items that may NOT be taken into the U.S.A. because they may carry animal and plant pests and diseases: meat, fruit, vegetables, plants, soil and products made from animal or plant materials. Be aware that these items may be confiscated by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection upon your entry into the U.S.A.  Please respect this restriction when planning to bring lunches or snacks to U.S. ski resort destinations, as the confiscation of items will delay the entire trip and limit our time on the slopes.
For additional information please refer to:  https://www.dontpackapest.com/

For all U.S. destinations:

• Bus fees and lift tickets are payable online in Canadian funds when booking for the trip. It is recommended you bring U.S. currency should you wish to purchase food and beverages at the resort.
• On the bus, all members and guests must have their ID/documentation on them, not in their luggage.  This will minimize delays at the border.
• When arriving at the border please listen to the bus captain.  Please be quiet while documentation is being checked by Customs officials.  Only speak if you are asked by the Customs officials.  This will minimize delays at the border and get us all on the slopes sooner.
• All children must have appropriate identification including letters of authorization signed by a parent or guardian.
• The Ontario Health Insurance Plan is limited and does not cover the full cost of accidents in the U.S.  It is recommended when traveling that you have additional out of country medical insurance.  This may be available through the benefits plan at your place of employment.  It is also available through most financial institutions or CAA.

Please be sure that you read, understand, and agree to the above policies and procedures before booking a day trip.
