Registration Policies and Conditions
By submitting the signed authorization form the client has entered into an agreement with EPH. The completed authorization and registration form along with the terms and conditions, ski packages or quote and the rates and dates constitutes a legally binding agreement between EPH and the guest.
Deposits, Registration and Payment
Each guest should familiarise themselves with these terms and conditions and
the website. This will ensure that you pick the best package
for your needs and that you a have a full understanding of what a heliski trip/ski
package entails.
Contact our office to reserve a space in a ski package. A non-refundable deposit and completed registration form are required within 2 weeks of the
reservation date to confirm your reservation. The deposits for the various
packages are as follows:
- For a 7 day semi private ski package and a 3 and 4 day private

To secure your space, final payment is required 90 days prior to commencement of package or November 1, 2007 whichever comes first. If booking less than 90 days prior to start of ski package full payment is due to
confirm and secure the space.
All prices are quoted in Canadian dollars and are subject to change without
notice.
A 5% federal goods and services tax (GST) is not included in any ski package
price.
Refunds
No refunds are given in whole or in part for unused days within the package due
to late arrival or early departure. If you decide to come in early or not ski at all
no refund will be given should the guaranteed vertical not be reached. Should
the entire group not reach the guaranteed vertical due to weather, mechanical
breakdown or conditions, unskiied footage is averaged over the group and is
refunded at $139.00 CDN per thousand meters.
Cancellations
All ski packages start and finish on the specified dates and have been offered as
a complete package. There are no refunds, partial or full for any of the following
reasons:
- late arrival or early departure for any reason.
- sickness or injury.
- lack of skier ability or fitness.
Cancellations must be made in writing and received by registered mail. Time of
cancellation is established upon arrival of registered mail at EPH. If you are
unable to attend your ski package after the final payment date then the ski
package is transferable to another person. If EPH is able to find a replacement
for your space then your package payment can be deferred to a ski package in
the next season. Cancellation more than 90 days prior to the start date of
package will result in loss of the non refundable deposit. If cancellation is
received 90 days or less, prior to start of confirmed package then entire trip
price is owed and non refundable.
Eagle Pass Heliskiing Ltd. reserves the right to cancel any heliskiing package at
anytime. Should this occur a full refund of payments including deposit will be
given.
Fuel Surcharge
EPH reserves the right to add a fuel surcharge to any of the ski packages. The
price of ski packages are determined months in advance before fuel costs are
known. As this is one of EPH’s single greatest costs we may be forced to add a
fuel surcharge to compensate for increases in fuel prices.
Liability
Each guest will be required to sign a RELEASE FROM LIABILITY, WAIVER OF
CLAIMS ASSUMPTION OF RISKS AND INDEMNITY AGREEMENT. By
signing this agreement / waiver you are giving up certain legal rights. This
agreement / waiver must be signed and witnessed before the guest is allowed to
ski. Refusal to sign this waiver will result in cancellation of that guests ski
package with no refund of any sort.
Insurance
EPH strongly suggests that each guest purchase trip or holiday cancellation
insurance in addition to medical, personal and travel insurance. This insurance
should cover emergency helicopter evacuation.
