    New Year’s Send Off

  • Dolomites Ski Trip (Dec 26, 2026–Jan 3, 2027)

    This is the official signup form for UTSSC’s New Year’s trip to the Dolomites, Italy — seven nights in the mountains with up to five days of skiing across the world-famous Dolomiti Superski region.

    This trip is open to all ability levels, including complete beginners. Lessons may be booked directly through the ski resort, but lessons are not provided by UTSSC. Please read all information carefully before completing the form.

    Trip Overview

    • Estimated Departure: Dec 26, 2026 from Toronto
    • Estimated Arrival in Italy: Dec 27, 2026
    • Estimated Return: Jan 3, 2027
    • Accommodation Dates: Approximately Dec 27, 2026–Jan 3, 2027
    • Ski Days: Up to 5 full ski days
    • Location: Canazei / Campitello di Fassa, Dolomites, Italy
    • Estimated Trip Cost: Approximately $3,600 CAD
    • Capacity: Limited to 8 participants

    Exact dates may shift by approximately one day depending on flight schedules, pricing, airport transfers, and accommodation availability.

    Accommodations

    We are planning to stay for approximately seven nights in the Canazei / Campitello di Fassa area, one of the main gateways to the Sella Ronda and the wider Dolomiti Superski network.

    The area offers access to skiing for beginners, intermediates, advanced riders, and experts, along with ski schools, restaurants, shops, and a proper mountain-town atmosphere.

    Accommodations will be shared and will be selected based primarily on price, location, lift access, availability, and cancellation terms. Daily breakfast is expected to be included.

    The final hotel has not yet been confirmed. UTSSC will only secure accommodations once enough participants have submitted deposits to confirm that the trip can proceed.

    Flights & Group Travel

    UTSSC plans to arrange a single group flight itinerary from Toronto to Venice. Because this trip is limited to only 8 participants, travelling together on the official group itinerary is strongly recommended.

    • Estimated Departure – Dec 26, 2026:
      Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) → Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE)
      Expected arrival in Venice on Dec 27, 2026
    • Estimated Return – Jan 3, 2027:
      Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) → Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ)

    Exact airlines, flight numbers, departure times, connections, and arrival times have not yet been finalized.

    Based on previous New Year’s travel pricing, we are currently estimating approximately $1,400–$1,600 CAD for round-trip airfare. Final airfare will depend on availability and the timing of the group booking.

    Independent Flight Policy

    Participants wishing to arrange their own flights must receive written approval from UTSSC before booking.

    Please do not purchase independent flights before UTSSC confirms the official group itinerary. Flight schedules, travel dates, airport-transfer times, and trip logistics may change while the trip is being finalized.

    Booking independently before the official itinerary is confirmed is done at your own risk and may result in incompatible arrival or departure times.

    Participants approved to arrange their own flights must arrive at Venice Airport before the scheduled group transfer. UTSSC cannot delay the shuttle, arrange separate airport transportation, or have the full group wait for an independently booked flight.

    Land-only packages may be available upon request and are subject to prior written approval from UTSSC.

    Baggage & Packing Requirements

    The planned international group fare is expected to include one checked baggage allowance per participant. Final baggage rules will be confirmed once flights are selected and booked.

    Because the group will be travelling in a vehicle with limited luggage capacity, participants must pack efficiently. Each participant should plan for one primary checked baggage setup only.

    Option 1 – Renting Equipment in Italy
    Participants renting skis or snowboards may bring:
    • One standard checked suitcase containing clothing, boots, and personal belongings.
    • A small carry-on or personal item, subject to the final airline rules.
    Option 2 – Bringing Your Own Equipment
    Participants bringing skis or a snowboard may use:
    • One ski or snowboard bag.
    • One boot bag.

    A ski/snowboard bag and boot bag are typically treated together by airlines as one checked sporting-equipment item, subject to the final airline policy.

    Participants should pack clothing and other essential items inside the ski/snowboard bag and boot bag wherever possible.

    Important: Participants should not plan to bring a ski/snowboard bag, a boot bag, and an additional full-size checked suitcase. The airport-transfer vehicle will have limited storage space, and excessive baggage may not fit.

    Pack only what you need for the week. The trip is limited to eight participants, but skis, snowboards, boot bags, and luggage take up substantial space in a passenger vehicle.

    Airport Transfers

    A private group shuttle is planned from Venice Airport directly to the accommodation in Canazei / Campitello on arrival day.

    On the final day, the group will leave the Dolomites in the morning and transfer directly back to Venice Airport. We are not currently planning an overnight stay or sightseeing portion in Venice.

    The trip is intentionally designed to be simple: fly into Venice → transfer directly to the Dolomites → ski → return directly to the airport.

    Skiing & Lift Access

    • Up to 5 full ski days are planned.
    • The trip is open to beginners, intermediates, advanced riders, and experts.
    • Beginners may book lessons directly through the local ski school.
    • UTSSC does not provide ski or snowboard instruction.
    • The Canazei / Campitello area provides access to the Sella Ronda and the broader Dolomiti Superski network.
    • Ikon Pass and Ikon Base Pass access may be used, subject to the applicable 2026–2027 access rules.

    Lift tickets are not included in the trip price. Participants without an Ikon Pass should currently budget approximately €70–€100 per ski day, subject to final 2026–2027 resort pricing.

    What to Know

    • This is a ski-focused trip. No separate Venice sightseeing or cultural itinerary is currently planned.
    • The trip is beginner-friendly, but participants are responsible for booking and paying for their own lessons.
    • Shared accommodations only — UTSSC will do its best to accommodate roommate requests.
    • The estimated trip cost is approximately $3,600 CAD.
    • The final cost will depend on flights, accommodation pricing, group size, transfers, and booking dates.
    • This trip is limited to 8 participants.
    • A minimum deposit of $1,000 CAD will be required to secure your spot.
    • Participants may pay more than the minimum deposit or pay the full trip balance at any time.
    • European accommodations may require a substantial non-refundable deposit, sometimes approximately 30% of the total reservation cost.
    • UTSSC will not finalize non-refundable accommodation commitments until enough participant deposits have been received to confirm that the trip can proceed.
    • Flights will not be booked immediately after signup. UTSSC expects to begin booking flights during the ideal booking window, likely around September 2026, once the participant group and itinerary are fully confirmed.
    • Deposits are expected to remain refundable until UTSSC begins booking flights or making another non-refundable commitment.
    • Participants will be notified before flights are booked and before any non-refundable commitments are made.
    • Once a participant’s flight or another non-refundable booking has been secured, the applicable portion of their payment may become non-refundable.
    • Participants booking flights independently must receive written approval and must wait until UTSSC confirms the official group itinerary.
    • Participants must pack within the baggage limits described above so that all luggage and equipment can fit safely into the group-transfer vehicle.

    This trip has only 8 available spots. If you are ready to spend New Year’s skiing the Dolomites with UTSSC, complete the registration form and submit the minimum $1,000 deposit as soon as registration opens.

  • Need Lift Tickets or Rentals?

    Lift tickets and equipment rentals are not included in the UTSSC trip price.

    Ikon Pass Recommended: The Dolomites are part of the Ikon Pass. If you have a valid Ikon Pass, you will not need to purchase separate lift tickets.
    • Participants without an Ikon Pass can easily purchase lift tickets at the resort upon arrival.
    • Ski and snowboard rental shops are located throughout Canazei and Campitello di Fassa, just a short walk from most accommodations.
    • There is generally no need to reserve rental equipment in advance unless you require specialized equipment.
    • UTSSC trip leaders will be happy to recommend nearby rental shops once the group arrives.

    We recommend waiting until you arrive in the Dolomites before purchasing lift tickets or arranging rentals. This gives you maximum flexibility and allows you to choose equipment that fits you properly.
