WAIVER

Backcountry adventures at Sorcerer Lodge are conducted in an uncontrolled backcountry environment and can include activities that at times may have a higher-than-normal element of risk. We employ professionally certified members of the Association of Canadian Mountain Guides to lead our trips and manage exposure to the inherent risks associated with backcountry recreation.

It is important that you be aware of the level of risk associated with your trip and the backcountry activities you are participating in. We encourage you to review the “Assumption of Risks” portion of the Waiver where some of these risks are outlined.

All visitors to Sorcerer Lodge are required to agree to the Waiver terms at the time of booking and must sign a paper copy of the Waiver at the pre-trip meeting as a condition of attending the trip. We encourage you to ask questions, and to seek legal advice regarding the waiver before confirming your booking if you have any concerns.

RESCUE INSURANCE

We strongly recommend that you purchase rescue insurance in case you require emergency evacuation due to illness or injury.

If you are Canadian, you should be aware that your provincial medical insurance will not cover helicopter evacuations from the backcountry. Our staff work to minimize evacuation costs, but you should be aware that bad weather, difficult communications or a lack of time when a medical emergency is urgent may drive up your evacuation costs. Participants are responsible for these costs.

Some trip cancellation insurance policies cover emergency rescue costs. However it is very important to confirm prior to your trip that your private insurance covers rescues and that it specifically includes costs arising from mountain or climbing-related accidents.
