All trips will start at the Sugarbush Kennel in Sundridge, about 30 minutes drive from the Motel when conditions permit it, otherwise the trip will start at the closest available trail, usually within 10 kilometers of the kennel. For those who wish to use another trail or location which is more than 10 kilometers from the kennel, a transportation fee will apply. This could be 50 - 100 dollars or more, depending on the size of the group and the distance travelled.

For larger
groups (7 persons or more), the clients may have to wait for their turn. With a
group of over 12 persons this will definitely be the case, and with a really
large group (25 persons or more) it may take a whole day for everyone to get
their 15 or 30 minute ride.
Snacks and a hot drink will be available around the bonfire for those who are
waiting, and for large groups other options may include hiking, snowshoeing or
skiing. Some great photo opportunities will surely be available for those who
wish to hike the trails.

Deposits,
and cancellation policy:
30% deposit is required to finalize all
bookings.
Deposits
are fully refundable if the trip is cancelled at least one week before the
booked date, also there will be no charge to reschedule one week or more in
advance. If the trip is cancelled or the clients wish to reschedule within one
week and at least 48hrs before the booked date, the clients will lose 50% of
their deposit(s) and will have to pay again if they wish to rebook.
Clients who wish to reschedule or cancel within 48hours of the booked date will
lose their full deposit.
Clients who fail to show up for the trip with no explanation will also lose
their deposit(s).
Also any clients who show up for the trip without the proper gear, may be
prohibited to participate and lose their deposit(s).
There are a few exceptions,
1: weather based cancellations; in cases where there is a lack of sufficient
snow, or it is raining, too icy, or below -25 with a wind chill, I may choose
to cancel or give the clients the option to cancel with a full refund. I would
also give the clients a refund if they are unable to attend due to road
closure, or delays caused by weather conditions, however, i must stress that it
will be the clients responsibility to show up, and so they should give
themselves extra time to get here if the weather may be bad.
2: Personal accidents or injury; If a client is involved in an accident or
becomes injured in such a way as to prevent attendance or participation, that
person will be refunded in full, so long as they take measures to contact me as
soon as possible. In a group situation, only the person who is unable to
participate will receive a refund, unless that person is necessary for the
participation of the group (i.e. they are the only adult, etc.).
3: Cancellations by tour operator (myself); Any trips which are canceled by me,
due to weather, personal injury, vehicle breakdown etc., will be fully
refundable. For the same reasons, I may also have to change the duration or
other details of a trip (i.e. from one per sled to sharing sleds), in which
case i would offer a partial refund on the trip. I will try my best to avoid
these circumstances, and if i have to cancel a date, i would usually try to
reschedule the group at a discounted rate if possible.
