IF WE CANNOT FLY

Our goal at STHS is to deliver an exceptional experience that soars above your expectations. However; freezing rain, extreme avalanche/weather conditions or unforeseen circumstances could have you visiting Revelstoke Mountain Resort instead of our tenure. In a typical season, our operation averages 2-3 “Down Days” per month. If we are unable to take guests heli-skiing on their scheduled day, we have the fairest refund policy in the industry. Please note that we do not refund guests who do not reach the guaranteed vertical amount due to poor skiing ability or fitness, illness or injury.

1-Day Adventure & 1-Day A-Star

  • In the very rare occasion STHS decides to cancel prior to and up to the evening before your scheduled day, we will try to rebook your trip if we have the availability and your schedule allows. If rebooking is not possible, you will be given a 100% refund. *STHS unfortunately does not provide ski passes to Revelstoke Mountain Resort in this scenario.
  • If Selkirk Tangiers cancels your trip the morning of your ski day or prior to you embarking on your first run, we will issue you a 100% refund and a complementary 1-day ski pass to Revelstoke Mountain Resort.
  • If the guaranteed vertical target is not reached during your visit due to inclement weather, mechanical helicopter reasons or avalanche conditions, you will be refunded at a rate of $246+tax for each run not achieved ($268+tax for the Day A-Star package)
  • If you only ski 1 run and rebooking is not an option, you will be charged a flat rate depending on the package type.

2-Day Expedition

  • If one of your heli days is cancelled, we will try our best to reschedule you another day.
  • If you cannot be rescheduled, your package will be changed to a 1-Day Adventure program and the price difference will be refunded. In this scenario, the following guidelines will apply to your new package: Backcountry Safety Briefing will be done on the first day even if it’s a “Down Day.”; Any runs not achieved from the 1-Day Adventure package will be refunded at the $246 + tax.
  • In the rare circumstance we need to cancel both days, we will issue you a full refund.

Trip Insurance

Emergency Medical Coverage & Helicopter Evacuation

Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing will provide Emergency Medical Insurance as part of your ski package purchase.  This coverage will only be in place while you are our guest at Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing and does not extend to your province or country of permanent residence. 

No one ever plans to need medical care while away; but if you do experience misadventures on your vacation, Emergency Medical Insurance provides coverage for medical expenses such as ambulance (including helicopter transfer to hospital), hospitalization, surgery, prescriptions, emergency transportation home and more.  All claims require you to be seen by a physician. Policy details are sent with Booking Forms and are also available upon request.

Trip Cancellation/Interruption

We understand that occasionally events occur that prevent you from joining us for your vacation.  Life is full of surprises and so is travel! You can’t predict a delayed flight, road closure, death of a family member or your own early season ski injury.  When an unexpected event prevents you from travelling, Trip Cancellation/Trip Interruption reimburses travel costs if your trip is cancelled before you leave or disrupted after it has begun.

Please pay special attention to our Cancellation and Refund Terms.

To avoid any financial hardship that an unexpected cancellation or interruption could cause, we strongly recommend purchasing Trip Cancellation/Interruption insurance to protect your trip investment. On average, you can expect this type of coverage to cost 5% – 6% of your total trip cost. It’s worth the peace of mind!
