The U9200 Alpine Club sells two individual memberships, and the pricing trips people up: seasonal looks more expensive at first glance, and in total it isn't. Here's how to choose.
The two memberships
| Membership | Monthly | Contract total |
|---|---|---|
| Annual Membership12-month contract | $1,000 | $12,000 |
| Seasonal Membership7-month contract | $1,500 | $10,500 |
| Corporate MembershipAnnual or seasonal | On request | — |
| Seasonal | Annual | |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | 7 months | 12 months |
| Access | November – April | Year-round |
| Per month | Higher | Lower |
| Contract total | Lower | Higher |
| Reserved parking space | Yes | Yes |
| Private ski and board locker | Yes | Yes |
| Clubhouse, hot tub, showers, workspace | In season | All year |
| Who's covered | Member's immediate family; friends when the member is there | Same |
A corporate membership is also available, on annual or seasonal terms, and is quoted separately.
Why seasonal costs more per month
Seasonal membership packs its access into the seven busiest months, when parking is scarcest and the clubhouse is most used. So the monthly rate is higher. But because there are five fewer months, the contract total is lower than annual. The table above shows both.
Choose seasonal if
- The club is for ski days. You'll use it from opening in November to closing in April, and not much after.
- You live on the Front Range and drive up for weekends and holidays.
- You want the lowest total commitment.
Winter Park usually opens in mid-November and closes in mid-April, so the seasonal term covers the ski season. In 2025 the resort opened early, on October 31.
Choose annual if
- You'll use it in summer. Trestle Bike Park ran from June 12 to September 27 in 2026, and the club makes a good base: patio, grill, showers after a muddy lap, the slope-side hot tub. See Winter Park in summer.
- You live in the valley year-round, and the club is your office, meeting place or hot tub all year.
- You work from it. The workspace, with its internet, private office and monitor, doesn't close in April.
Who a membership covers
Both memberships work the same way. The member's immediate family can use the membership and its reserved parking space, and members can bring friends when they're there. Access is based on one car per day.
Capacity and timing
The club has 30 reserved parking spaces and sells 30 memberships, one space each. It makes sense to decide alongside your season pass, in the fall, before opening day.
