How do we get there if we do not have a vehicle?
If you are not staying at Jackson Hole Mountain Resort or in the center of town in Big Sky, you will need to arrange transport from your hotel to the pickup location. Check with your hotel for shuttle access that can deliver you to the pick-up point before we depart. If your hotel does not provide shuttle access, you will have to arrange transport by taxi or another ride service on your own.

What is your cancellation policy?
We have a 7 day cancellation policy for all departures. Cancellations made before the policy goes into effect will receive a full refund with no penalty. Cancellations made within the cancellation policy period will not be refunded. If we cancel a departure for any reason, we will offer to reschedule or refund your booking.

What happens if the roads are closed due to weather?
Winter travel in the region can be difficult if roads are closed due to weather. It is our goal to run a safe tour and transfer you from one location to the next without incident. We will keep a close eye on weather patterns, and monitor roads for changing conditions or restrictions. If we are unable to provide access due to road closures, which are out of our control, we will notify you immediately, and either reschedule you or provide a full refund.
