with any questions.
RESERVATIONS & PAYMENTS
To reserve a space on any North Cascade Heli-Skiing program, a
deposit is required along with a Registration Form completed
by each participant. Final payment balances are due 30 days
prior to the first scheduled date. Payment for additional runs
or flight time will be collected at the end of each program.
Specific deposit and payment policies are described below for
each program.
CANCELLATIONS
In the event of a cancellation, 50% of the deposit is refundable
up to 30 days prior to the first scheduled date. No refunds
are made on cancellations within 30 days of the trip. If full
payment has not been received 30 days prior to the first scheduled
date, the reserved space may be filled and no refund is made.
Your fees are transferable if someone can take your place. A
new Registration Form will be required.
RAINCHECKS
Credit will be made only in the event that North Cascade Heli-Skiing
is not able to provide any portion of the guaranteed skiing.
No credit will be given for missed skiing due to poor ability,
fitness, equipment failure, injury, or personal choice. Injured
guests or guests wishing to return from a day of skiing earlier
than the rest of the group will be required to pay additional
ferry time costs, unless an entire helicopter load wishes to
be flown out. Specific raincheck and refund policies are described
below for each program.
