Unlimited Member: ($1000 per year) This level provides members unlimited guiding days. This member would have priority over permits with limited user days (i.e. Ouray Ice Park). 30 Day Member: ($750) A 30 day member can use all of the CGF benefits for 30 guide days. This is for 30 guide days, not 30 user days (this means a guide with 3 clients counts as one guide day). A member at this level can upgrade to an Unlimited Membership for $400 if they run over the 30 day maximum. 15 Day Member: ($450) A 15 day member can use all the CGF benefits for 15 guide days. This is for 15 guide days, not 15 user days (this means a guide with 3 clients count as one guide day). A member at this level can upgrade to a 30 day Membership for (an additional) $400 if they run over the 15 day maximum or upgrade straight to Unlimited for $800. Supporting Member: ($100) This membership level is for anyone wanting to support the organization but not looking to receive benefits. ’08 Associate Membership upgrades: Members who joined in 2008 under the Associate membership at $300 for 20 days have the option to purchase 10 more days by upgrading their membership to the 30 day guide level for $250 (totally what the “30 Day Member” cost per day is: $25 per day x 10 days = $250) or to the Unlimited Membership for an additional $700. mailto:CGFINFO@MAC.COMshapeimage_1_link_0
