Risk Disclosure Statement

We strive to ensure the highest levels of safety on all our trips. However, it is essential to recognize that no adventure, especially those involving backcountry travel and sea voyages, can ever be entirely free of risk. Promising absolute safety would diminish the very essence of the experiences we offer, which include excitement, exploration, and a degree of unpredictability.

Our guides are certified by associations under the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations (IFMGA), ensuring a high level of expertise. Each trip begins with a morning meeting where our guides assess current weather conditions, terrain risks, avalanche potential, group abilities, and other critical safety factors. While objectives are planned in advance, they may change on the day of the trip based on real-time conditions and the guide's judgment.

By participating in our trips, you voluntarily assume the inherent risks associated with backcountry travel and skiing, including but not limited to avalanches, tree wells, rapidly changing weather, and variations in terrain. Other hazards include cliffs, extreme terrain, trees, crevasses, rockfalls, open creeks, and hidden obstacles. Participants are responsible for skiing or riding within their skill level.

You are responsible for maintaining the necessary physical fitness, dexterity, and skills required to navigate a full day of travel over varied terrain in winter conditions.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF RISK You acknowledge that guided backcountry involve significant risks. By joining, you agree to participate fully aware of these risks and accept responsibility for your own safety and well-being.

Furthermore, you agree to follow the instructions of our guides and crew at all times, stay alert to hazards, and act prudently throughout the trip.

PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE ABOVE STATEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING.
