REFUND POLICY:

Adaptive Adventures understands that issues and unfortunate circumstances may arise that may limit your ability to attend a program in which you are enrolled in. Please notify us no later than 48 hrs if you cannot attend your program and you need to cancel your registration. Adaptive Adventures reserves the right to withhold refunds if given less than 48 hour notice out of respect for other participants wishing to attend program. There will be no refunds if a participant cancels and Adaptive Adventures has already incurred costs including rentals, lift tickets, staffing etc.

HOW SHOULD I DRESS? Make sure that you come prepared to be outside in whatever weather Mother Nature gives us! It's all about layers... and being prepared. Take a peek at this document if you are new to snow sports:: How To Suit Up for the Hill.  We do have outdoor clothing that people may use while at a program with us. Just make sure that you pay attention to your under layers when you come to the hill. Jeans are not advisable as they do not give when moving around; any type of sweat/jogging pants would be a much better choice over a base layer.

**Please note there is a 220 lb weight limit for all sit skiers. Individuals who exceed this weight limit have the option to use the slider.
