Club membership – we’re all mates (unless it’s a powder day!)

Join the CV family

Club fields like Craigieburn Valley exist because of our dedicated, long-term members. People like you, who just love the good times and the good feels that come from hanging out in the mountains with likeminded folk.

We love new members! Every year our lifers are joined by a fresh crew of keen skiers and boarders, and that’s what keeps life interesting here.

Everybody can commit at different levels, and we totally get that. We have three levels of membership, so simply choose what works for you.

And in return, you’ll enjoy heavily discounted lift tickets and accommodation, and a bevy of new friends for life.

Membership types

We have three levels of membership, social, base and summit:
Social members enjoy the social benefits of being involved in the club, and receive the club newsletter. This level of membership is intended for members who wish to keep in contact with the club while not actively participating. For example travelling overseas, or injured. No discount for lift tickets and accommodation.
‍
Base membership costs $150p/a and gets 32.5% discounts on lift passes and accommodation, as well as the benefits of a social membership. A base member can buy a season pass for $450.
‍
Summit membership costs $150p/a and completes 2 work parties per year, or our buy out option (cost of $300). Summit members get a 50% discount on lift tickets and accommodation, and can buy a season pass for $350. All work parties carried out for the club counts towards summit membership or is reimbursed in the form of token/vouchers for accommodation or skiing.

2023 we have added more flexibility on how to use your work parties credits
Additional work parties = one token/voucher. One token/voucher can be redeemed for either $100 off a season pass, or a day ski ticket or one nights accomodation which includes dinner, bed and breakfast. 10 hours work in town is counted as one token/voucher. Unless requested otherwise a Base member is the default position is to use the first two work parties to become a Summit member. Non members can do a work party and use token/voucher on day ski tickets (max 2).
