Risk disclosure

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, dangers and hazards 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. Additionally, sea-based travel carries its own risks, dangers and hazards, such as seasickness, claustrophobia, anxiety, nausea, vomiting, and other potential discomforts inherent to life aboard a vessel. 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 you are aware that guided backcountry and sea travel involve significant risks, dangers, and hazards and you agree to participate knowing these risks, dangers and hazards and you freely accept and fully assume all such risk, dangers and hazards and the possibility of personal injury, death, property damage or loss resulting therefrom. You further accept responsibility for your own safety and well-being. Furthermore, you agree to follow the instructions of the guides and crew at all times, stay alert to hazards, act prudently throughout the trip and notify the guides and crew of anything you perceive as unsafe in a timely manner.

PLEASE READ THE ABOVE STATEMENT CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING.

I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE ARE INHERENT RISKS TO GUIDED BACKCOUNTRY TRAVEL AND I AGREE TO PARTICIPATE KNOWING THESE RISKS

I UNDERSTAND THAT I MUST HAVE THE PHYSICAL DEXTERITY, FITNESS, AND SKILL TO SPEND A FULL DAY TRAVELING IN THE BACKCOUNTRY
