Booking a Trip

-To book a custom climbing or skiing trip, please contact directly. We will discuss your goals, come up with a custom itinerary, and send you a proposal that lays out all associated costs, which will vary greatly depending on the trip.

-A deposit of $1000 or 30%, whichever is greater, reserves your custom trip dates. Balance is due 90 days from beginning of trip unless otherwise stipulated.

-For scheduled trips, a 50% deposit is required to hold your spot, with the balance due up to 6 months prior to trip start, depending on the lodge.

-Payments can be made using our invoice system through PayPal Business, allowing you to use credit cards but which are charged a 3.5% additional fee. You can also send a check or do a direct bank transfer.

-While we will strive to honor the advertised price at time of initial booking, we reserve the right to increase prices by up to 5% for trips that are scheduled more than 6 months in the future to cover unexpected changes in expenses.

-Please see https://cloudripperguides.com/s/Cancellation-Policy-1.pdf for cancellation policy information.

-Trip insurance is required for international trips, and is strongly recommended for any domestic trip. The required coverage is as follows:

Emergency Medical
(Injury/Illness) $100,000+ Must include adventure activities (Backcountry Skiing and Heli-Skiing)
Medical Evacuation and  Repatriation $250,000+ Must cover remote or wilderness rescue
Accidental Death and
Dismemberment $25,000+
Personal Liability $100,000+ 
Search and Rescue $50,000+ 

We recommend using the World Nomads Explorer Plan, as it meets these minimums and includes adventure sports from climbing to backcountry skiing. If you want to purchase Cancel for Any Reason coverage, you generally must do so within 14 days if the initial deposit.
