Cancellations initiated by BlackSheep because of unforeseen circumstances (lodge closures, highway closures, covid lockdowns or closures, extreme weather events, hazardous avalanche conditions, etc.) are refundable less any sunk costs. Trip Interruption / Travel insurance is highly recommended for all bigger trips as there are generally costs that are not eligible for refund.

Trip Interruption / Travel Insurance

It is highly recommended to purchase medical insurance (if applicable) and traveler’s trip interruption insurance to cover travel costs and trip costs in the event you have to cancel your trip due to personal illness or injury, family emergency or other personal conflicts or if the trip is cancelled due to covid or an unforeseen event. If climbing within Canadian National Parks, the purchase of a park pass is required and this also acts as mountain rescue insurance if needed.

Waiver & Risk Management:

As you know, outdoor activities involve numerous hazards including, but not limited to, avalanches, crevasses, rockfall, slips and falls, equipment failure, poor weather, etc. And while we do our best to anticipate and mitigate these hazards we cannot completely eliminate them. So, as with anything fun, you will be required to sign our Participant Release to take part in one of our courses or trips.

Mountain Weather & Conditions

Part of the mountain experience is dealing with changing weather and conditions. BlackSheep Adventure Sports ensures its guides are continually monitoring current and forecasted weather and conditions. Occasionally a program will require changes or, at times cancellation, due to unfavorable weather conditions and or other circumstances. This may result in alternate trip locations and objectives or dates.
