POWDER SOUTH, LLC HELI-SKI GUIDES POLICY
The goal of POWDER SOUTH, LLC Heli-Ski Guides, is to safely provide you with:
| Hours | Description | # of skiers |
|---|---|---|
| 22 | flying time for our Classic Heli-Package | 12 people |
| 16 | flying time for our Semi-Private Heli-Package | 8 people |
| 12 | flying time for our Exclusive Private Group Package | 4 people |
This amount of hours, if well managed, should accomplish close to 30,500 vertical meters/100,000 vertical feet of quality heli-skiing with each of the 3 packages. However we cannot guarantee this, and it may be less, due to the nature of heli-skiing in the Andes, where terrain access requires variable flying time from the lodge, depending on conditions.
POWDER SOUTH, LLC guarantees, and will refund the following amount of hours for each package we offer, if this amount is not accomplished due to poor weather, or mechanical failure, POWDER SOUTH, LLC will reimburse as much as 4 hrs of flying time, per group of 4 people, or 7,200 Euros (1,800 Eu/per hr) per group of 4 people. *Note: as an example, if in the Classic Package, a group of 12 flies a total of 20 hrs, the amount to be refunded will be equal to 2 hrs (3,600 Euros).
| Package | # of skiers | Guaranteed | Max Reimbursement | Max Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Classic | 12 People | 22 hrs | 12 hrs | 21,600 Euros |
| Semi-Private | 8 People | 16 hrs | 8 hrs | 14,400 Euros |
| Private | 4 People | 12 hrs | 4 hrs | 7,200 Euros |
POWDER SOUTH, LLC reserves the right to refuse a person participation on any trip, if we find that person to be mentally unprepared for the trip. During the trip the Heli-Ski Guide reserves the right to require a person to return to Base or to abandon the trip, if by their judgment, for any reason, a person is unfit to continue participating in an ongoing activity. If, for any reason, anyone leaves the trip before its completion, for whatever reason, there will be no reimbursement of fees. If the weather, or other factor(s), makes completing our objective impossible, our policy stated above will apply. In the case of the participant’s need for a rescue, or the participant leaves the trip before its completion, for whatever reason, the participant is responsible for any expenses incurred. POWDER SOUTH, LLC is not responsible for any expenses (except the 4 hrs of flying time per group of 4 stated on the refund policy) incurred if the trip should be delayed due to weather, mechanical failure, strikes, theft, acts of nature, civil disturbances, terrorism, acts of war, government restrictions or regulations, failure of any form of transportation to arrive or depart as scheduled, or discrepancies over which POWDER SOUTH, LLC has no control.
If the participant cancels at any time before the activity, there will be no refund of deposit. The trip balance payment is due in full 75 days before the starting date of the activity. If cancellation occurs 75 days before departure there will be 25% reimbursement of the trip fee. If the participant cancels 30 days before departure, there will be absolutely no reimbursement of fees. POWDER SOUTH, LLC is not responsible for the terms and conditions of any airline tickets. POWDER SOUTH, LLC is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged baggage, skis, or equipment, or any expenses incurred in the event of such loss or damage. If POWDER SOUTH, LLC chooses to cancel a trip for reasons other than the above stated, payment will be refunded in full except for credit card fees, if any.
I have read, understand, and accept the terms and conditions stated on the POWDER SOUTH, LLC POLICY and acknowledge that this agreement shall be effective and binding upon the parties during the entire period of participation in the said activity(s).
