Cancellation Policy

CANCELLATIONS

If you cancel before the balance due date (30 days before your trip), a full refund is given (minus fees associated with Stripe).

For custom trips, if one or more members of a private group cancel for such a refund, resulting in a smaller group and lower guest-to-guide ratio, the remaining members agree to pay the higher cost per person of the lower guest-to-guide ratio.

If you cancel after the balance due date (30 days before your trip), or if you are prevented, after the balance due date, from participating in the trip due to exigent circumstances such as injury, illness, family emergency, or travel delays, no refund will be given.

CANCELLATIONS OR CHANGES BY THE GUIDE

All trips offered are subject to inherent risks and hazards including, but not limited to inclement weather, avalanche conditions, route conditions, and your own abilities or fitness.

We reserve the right to change the location or itinerary of any trip as necessary to reduce risk. No refund will be given for changes in the itinerary due to weather, conditions, or circumstances within or affecting your group such as fitness and technical ability.

In the unlikely event that we are forced to cancel a trip due to inadequate booking, guide cancellations, or for any other reason, a full refund will be given. In such cases, we are not responsible for expenses incurred by the client in connection with the trip such as airfare, car rental, equipment purchases, etc.

INSURANCE

We recommend that you purchase Trip Cancellation, Interruption and Emergency Evacuation Insurance to protect yourself in case you need to cancel after the balance due date, cannot participate due to exigent circumstances or require emergency evacuation.

Depending on where you are coming from you will likely have to figure out how to get to the mountain. If coming from out of town we recommend a rental car to get to the trailhead of Mount Baker. You must provide your own means of transport to and from the trailhead. We wish we could accommodate driving guests to and from the mountains but our insurance simply does not cover it.

The common trailheads are as follows:
