Terms & Conditions for White Grizzly Cat Skiing

Upon making a reservation at White Grizzly, all guests agree to these terms and conditions:

Deposits

To confirm your reservation we require a non-refundable 50% deposit. Reservations will not be held until payment is received. A final deposit payment of 50% of your total amount is due on or before September 1st. For your convenience, we will send a reminder of the balance owing four weeks prior to the due date. If the final payment has not been received by the September 1st deadline, we will regretfully assume that you do not wish to keep your reservation and will resell your space without notice. Bookings made after September 1st require the entire 100% payment to secure a seat. All payments are non-refundable.

Should multiple individuals or groups wish to book the same dates, the spaces will be awarded to the first party that makes a deposit.

Cancellation and Refund Policy

Many types of weather conditions can be encountered during your skiing experience. It is an extremely rare occurrence that weather would make it impossible for the us to operate. However, as White Grizzly has no control over the weather, natural forces and events, there is no guarantee of the conditions that you will encounter during your trip. White Grizzly does not provide refunds for any reason. Under no circumstances is White Grizzly responsible for the clients’ inconvenience or travel expenses.

Wilderness skiing and snowboarding involves risks, dangers and hazards in addition to those normally associated with downhill skiing and snowboarding. A “Release of Liability, Waiver of Claims, Assumption of Risks and Indemnity Agreement” is required to be signed by all guests prior to participating in our wilderness skiing or riding program.

Late Arrivals

What Happens If a Guest Isn’t Fit Enough or Unable to Ski The Terrain

If a guest is unable to ski the terrain we offer or is overly tired/fatigued then White Grizzly has the right to “bench” them and they will be told to either stay in the cat for a period of time to recuperate or in extreme cases take the day off from the mountain. This is a safety concern. We ask all our guests to guarantee that they are able to ski or ride the terrain that we offer and we quiz them on their general fitness upon booking. We expect all our guests to be strong to expert skiers and snowboarders and capable of skiing the entire length of their trip. If a guest has given false information regarding this then White Grizzly is not at fault and the impact on the other guest’s experience is not the responsibility of White Grizzly.
