Cancellation Policy
Cancellation Policy ​ Golden Powder Guiding specializes in multi-day, lodge-based ski touring adventures. Our operations involve tight margins and limited flexibility, necessitating a clear cancellation policy that addresses the complexities of our service, including but not limited to the impacts of COVID-19. COVID-19 and Unforeseeable Events Cancellation: ​ Government or Supplier-Related Closures: If GPG cannot operate due to restrictions by Canadian or provincial governments or closures of critical suppliers (including but not limited to Golden Alpine Holidays and Alpine Helicopters), clients may: Rebook the same trip for the next available season, subject to availability. Receive a partial cash refund, determined by the cancellation's timing relative to the trip date, evaluated on a case-by-case basis. ​ Refund Processing Fees: All refunds are subject to credit card transaction fees and administrative charges. ​ Standard Cancellation Policy: Cancellation Timeframes and Refunds: ​ Lodge Trips: Accommodations will be made to help clients with a substitute up to 21 days before the trip start date.

GPG will provide the necessary documents to help clients with their travel insurance claims.​ Transferability: Bookings may be transferred to another individual, subject to GPG’s approval to maintain group dynamics.

Travel Insurance: Bookings should be made with a credit card offering travel insurance. Guests must carry comprehensive travel insurance covering cancellations, medical expenses, and travel-related issues. ​ Uncontrollable Circumstances Cancellation: If GPG cannot provide services due to uncontrollable factors (e.g., road closures, adverse weather, vehicle malfunctions, above-acceptable avalanche hazard, treacherous ski conditions), we reserve the right to withhold up to 50% of the service cost. The decision to invoke this part of the cancellation policy is at the discretion of GPG and its guides and is non-negotiable.
