INSURANCE
INSURANCE
It is each guests responsibility to research and purchase their own Medical, Evacuation, and/or Trip Cancellation Insurance to ensure full coverage in the event of illness, injury, or travel interruptions.
There are many options available, so take the time to find a plan that aligns with your risk tolerance and fully protects you and your group. Mount Carlyle Lodge and the BLBCA recommend Acera Insurance, a B.C.-based company specializing in insurance for the adventure tourism and ski industry. We also recommend checking out options with The American Alpine Club (AAC) for our USA guests, or the other options below.
In the event of a medical evacuation the helicopter and associated costs are up to guests/group.
WAIVERS
WAIVERS
Please ensure you and every member of your group has read the waiver (posted on our website and on this page) and understands all that it encompasses. It is imperative that everyone in the group has pre read the waiver of release and comprehends what they are signing.
Waivers will be signed in person the night before your trip when your group meets the custodian in Kaslo. Mount Carlyle will provide printed waivers so there’s no need print ‘em out. All waivers must be presented and witnessed in person by a Carlyle Lodge employee.
