Trip and Interruption 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.

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 due to unfavorable weather conditions and or other circumstances, which may result in alternate trip locations and objectives or dates. If a date change creates an issue we will apply your credit towards another product.
