TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Terms
As all activities we perform in the mountains carry a degree of risk, each participant must complete a liability waiver. This waiver is sent to participants upon booking and must be completed before the trip date.
We reserve the right to adjust or cancel the itinerary to any trip due to poor conditions, inadequate participant enrollment, loss of guide, or other reasons without penalty. For this reason, we highly recommend appropriate insurance (See Cancellation Policy).
We do not accept responsibility for costs incurred by persons or entities associated with the change or prolongation of any trips.
When a trip is booked, the booking process immediately begins to incur expenses, including deposits for guides, huts, and transportation. Third-party expenses will be subject to their own cancellation policies.
Under extenuating circumstance, if we are forced to cancel a trip for reasons beyond our control, a credit or refund may be issued – to be determined on a case-by-case basis. In any case, non-refundable expenses on behalf of a client will not be refunded due to cancellation.

When a trip is booked, the booking process immediately begins to incur expenses, including deposits for guides, huts, and transportation. Third-party expenses will be subject to their own cancellation policies. Under extenuating circumstance, if we are forced to cancel a trip for reasons beyond our control, a credit or refund may be issued – to be determined on a case-by-case basis. In any case, non-refundable expenses on behalf of a client will not be refunded due to cancellation.
Weather and conditions are unpredictable year-round and constantly affect the decisions we make in planning and executing each trip. If conditions do not prove adequate to complete a specific objective in your trip plan, we will have a contingency plan for an alternative objective. If your trip is affected by the weather, you will be contacted as soon as possible.
We do our best to provide the best experience possible under every circumstance. It is not practical for us to issue refunds whenever a client is unsatisfied with the weather. If you have a specific objective in mind, you should understand that while we will do everything in our power to make this happen, your safety will be our priority. An alternate route/plan may be necessary. Exceptions may be made for certain rock climbing and alpine climbing trips on a case-by-case basis; please contact us directly to discuss.
Upon confirmation of your trip, You enter into a financial obligation and we cannot refund payment or release you from your contractual obligation except for the condition stated above under “Cancellation Policy.” To avoid unnecessary cancellation penalties, cancellation insurance is strongly recommended in the event you cannot participate or if your trip is interrupted “for any reason.” We recommend TuGo for trip cancellation and medical insurance while travelling within Canada.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns regarding our policy or obtaining insurance.
