Terms of Service

I agree to the TERMS OF SERVICE including the requirement to sign a WAIVER for ALL TRIPS AND COURSES. A link to the waiver is available under the "More" tab in the website menu at the top of this page.
Waiver
*
I agree to a RELEASE OF LIABILITY, WAIVER OF CLAIMS, ASSUMPTION OF RISKS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT. A link to the waiver is available under the "More" tab in the website menu at the top of this page. You will need to sign a paper copy of the waiver when we meet at the beginning of the trip.
Acknowledgment of Risk
*
It is important to understand that no matter how well prepared we are there is still an element of risk in all mountain activities. You will need to sign the waiver when you arrive for your trip. Please read the waiver before the trip so you understand what the risks are and what you will be signing when you begin the trip. Safety is our number one priority. You trust the guides to be dialed in and to be able to manage risk on a trip, but it goes both ways. We need to be able to trust you to help manage your personal risk as well. Our risk is shared, the guides are at risk just like you are and you can help keep them safe just like they work at keeping you safe. The most important person in managing your personal risk is YOU. If you prepare even just a little beforehand you can help keep yourself, the other members of the group, and the guides safe. There are a variety of ways you can help manage your risk on your trip: Listen to the guides’ instructions and if you are uncertain of what is expected of you please ask! Be aware of the situation around you. As you travel through the terrain think of what you can do to reduce risk for yourself and the group (EG place yourself in a safe spot at regroups in avalanche terrain, keep the glacier rope tight, place yourself in the best position to avoid rockfall etc). If you have received previous safety instruction pertinent to the trip, review and practice that training before the trip. Consider taking a course that involves safety training relevant to the trip (EG avalanche rescue, crevasse rescue, rock rescue). Speak up. If you see something you feel is hazardous, mention it to the guide. If you feel uncomfortable with what you perceive is a risk, mention it to the guide. We can discuss your concerns and change what we are doing if necessary. Traveling in the mountains together as a group is all about having trust in each other’s abilities. In over 30 years of guiding I have only had to deal with three minor incidents requiring an immediate evacuation. We do not expect an accident but we need to be prepared in case there is one. The more we trust each other the more we will all enjoy our time in the mountains together because we know we are able to take care of each other in the unlikely case there is a problem.
