Waivers

Mountain travel is not without certain risks and hazards. All program participants will be required to read and sign a waiver

Mountain Weather

The mountain weather, snow conditions, and avalanche hazard are beyond our control. If conditions do not allow the original program, we will make every effort to find a safe, suitable alternative. As such, we reserve the right to cancel all or a portion of a program, without penalty to HBS. We cannot be responsible for clients’ expenses as a result of this. Trip cancellation insurance is strongly recommended. See www.lifestylesfinancial.ca

Program participants will be required to pay for any costs associated with medical evacuations from the field, in the unlikely event of injury or illness. Specialty adventure travel insurance is strongly recommended. See www.lifestylesfinancial.ca
