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.

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.
