The person or persons named on the booking are hereinafter referred to as the “Client”. These Terms and Conditions may affect your rights and designate the governing law and forum for the resolution of any and all disputes.

  • By making a booking, the Client accepts and is bound by these Terms and Conditions. A booking is accepted and becomes definite only from the date when the Company sends an email explicitly stating that the trip is confirmed.
  • All prices include park fees, accommodation, and transport as described, and all the mountain costs except tips, drinks, and other items of personal expenditure. Prices assume no changes in current park fees, regulations, and other statutory government taxes, and are valid through December 31, 2022. The Company reserves the right to change the prices at any time before bookings are confirmed.
  • A 30% deposit, paid by credit card or wire is due at the time of booking. The trip balance payment is due 60 days prior to trip departure. Failure to make full payment by the due date may result in forfeiture of the trip deposit and any partial balance payments. The Company reserves the right to cancel any reservation should timely final payment not be received. It is the Client’s responsibility to ensure payment is made by the due date.

  • Should the Client be unable to make their trip it may be possible to transfer payments and deposits towards another. The new trip must occur within one year of the original date. The Company reserves the right to prohibit a trip transfer. For a request to transfer made more than 60 days before the original start date, a fee of $200 per person will be charged, should a transfer request be granted.
