Dave nails it. I was involved in a cat skiing trip where it was cheaper if we organized our own group of 12 plus we could chose skiers we knew were capable of skiing hard lines. Similar issues. Guys would bow out at the last minute and want their deposit back, or not pay the deposit, or bring friends that weren’t strong skiers. Or some guys were all about “guys week out” so we will get too drunk and be pigs. Ultimately we quit doing it because it was more hassle than it was worth.
Set out the parameters at the beginning to all. That way it doesn’t look as though anyone has been singled out. “Deposits are required by X date and failure to pay means you won’t be booked in. No exceptions. Hold to your guns.
