Booking and Registration Process

Before you book, please make sure there is availability for the dates that you want (see the table on the right hand side of this page).  If there is no availability, you will be placed on a waitlist.

To book your trip, you must complete and submit a Registration Form

Then, send your trip and membership fees in full.  If you wish to pay by instalments, the minimum deposit is $500 plus your membership fees with the balance due by May 1st..

No booking is complete until the registration form and trip and membership fees are received by the Registrar.

Once booking is confirmed, a confirmation letter, with detailed trip information, will be sent to you.

No registration is complete until waiver and/or consent forms are signed.  The following documents are available for review:

Icefall Lodge requires a separate waiver. Click here to review their waiver.

Payments are subject to cancellation fees (see the Terms and Conditions for details). Any monies paid cannot be carried forward to future years.

You may want to consider the purchase of appropriate insurance to cover against your cancellation of participation and/or trip interuption, including out-of-province medical insurance. Some vendors of trip cancellation insurance include auto clubs (e.g., CAA and affiliates), insurance companies and financial institutions (e.g. Co-operators, RBC Insurance), and travel agencies. There are also online sources for trip interruption insurance – such as Kanetix.ca, TravelInsuranceQuotes.ca, Expedia.ca, Travel-Insurance-Worldwide.ca, or InsuranceHotline.com.
