*WEATHER POLICY: Every activity has different conditions under which it can/cannot be run and some trips are more sensitive to conditions than others. We only work with seasoned professionals with many years experience whose judgment we trust and any cancellations will be made by these professionals. All trips have an adverse weather packing list to ensure that you are dressed properly. Make sure to read over the packing list thoroughly as soon as you receive it via email (or check your "My Calendar" link) and make sure to bring the extra items listed with you just in case the weather conditions change during the trip. As the Scandinavians say, "There is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing." If you are dressed properly you will definitely be more comfortable! However, due to the nature of our activities, all activities are subject to environmental conditions which could affect the conditions of the activity, cancel part of an activity, or cancel an activity altogether. Adventure Society, and our Vendors, reserve the right to change, cancel part of, or cancel altogether any activity for reasons including, but not limited to, weather conditions, inability to get to a location, physical conditions of the location, lack of, or too much, snow, ice, wind, clouds, rain, water, waves, flooding, natural disasters, and other conditions. There will be no refunds issued if an activity is cancelled due to adverse conditions or for any reasons that make the trip unsafe; you will receive a non-transferable, non-redeemable online credit to your Adventure Society account, good for one year, which can be used towards any of our upcoming activities. THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. If we arrive at a location and the conditions are not conducive to run the activity, we will cancel the activity at that point and you will receive a partial credit, minus the cost of running the activity to that point. We will do our best to run the remaining activities to avoid canceling the trip altogether. ***Other cancellation policies may apply and vary based upon activity. Make sure to thoroughly read all cancellation policy terms and conditions before you register for an activity.***
