Once we receive written notification that you are canceling your trip the following fees will apply. Of
the total price of the reservation, a fee of 30% will be charged for all cancellations made more than 3months before the start of your trip. Cancellations made between 1 and 3 months prior to the start ofyour program will be charged a 50% fee. Cancelations made with less than one month of advanced

Japan Ski Tours also reserves the right to cancel any program due to weather or route conditions. If a
tour is canceled before commencing, due to weather or route conditions, then a full refund will begiven; however, JSA is not responsible for any additional expenses incurred in preparing for theprogram (i.e., airline tickets, equipment purchase or rental, hotel reservations).

made more than 3 months prior to the tour.
Medical and Emergency Evacuation Insurance

Due to the inherent risk involved in alpine pursuits, and in the interest of your safety, Japan Ski Toursstrongly recommends all participants to bring insurance that provides full medical and emergency
evacuation coverage. Japan Ski Tours will NOT provide insurance for participants in any JSA tour. If aparticipant does not have proper insurance documentation he/she will be liable for her own medical
and emergency evacuation expenses and will receive no refund, date change, or any kind ofcompensation from Japan Ski Tours. Please take this seriously and lean on the side of caution.
Hazard Management and Skier Responsibilities

Managing risk is JST’s number one priority. Our guides manage significant hazards inherent to sidecountry pursuits (e.g. avalanche, inclement weather, tee-accidents, rock fall, and high winds) but theycannot eliminate them.
Please clearly understand that skiing in bounds and out of bounds is an inherently hazardous sportand both actions are only undertaken with the full knowledge and consent from the participant thatthese are inherently dangerous activities. You are choosing to engage in an activity in which skiers
have been injured and worse. While these accidents are indeed infrequent, they may occur at any
time and be out of our control. We ask that participants acknowledge that risk, and make their own
choices about whether or not to engage in this activity. We ask that each participant is physically andmentally fit, is properly attired and equipped, and continues to assess him/her-self throughout thetour to ensure as safe a climb as possible. We ask that participants honestly and accurately

describe themselves, in terms of fitness, health and skills, and their equipment to their guides, andthat they adhere to the advice of their professional mountain guide.
