• No cancellation/refund (weather is not a consideration) – only move as previously described under the Updates/Guidelines areas of both huts, to another open spot during March 1 – Sept 30 for Haberl Hut and June 1 – Sept 30 for the Tantalus Hut of the same year, but not guaranteed as the number of available booking spots is limited. You can also switch to the other hut to try to ensure you get to a hut. 
• NO carry forward to the next season of any missed bookings/cancelled bookings – no exceptions other than what is outlined in the guidelines.

Booking Policy understandings

Users will need to be aware of and accept to be able to book the Huts:

• I have read and understand the ACC Vancouver Section Huts Use and Booking Guidelines Policy that are said to be in current use and have read all the Huts information found on the accvancouver.ca website leading up to the reservation form.
• I understand the Tantalus mountain range is extremely complex in nature. Navigating the terrain is very demanding and requires a strong group with extensive backcountry experience and impeccable decision making. There are large expanses of steep, open terrain, multiple overlapping avalanche paths, and minimal options to reduce exposure. Unless you’re absolutely confident in the skills of your group, please consider hiring a professional guide
• I understand that travel by or being in the vicinity of helicopters, especially over mountainous or alpine environments, includes exposure to risk of helicopter crashes, being struck by rotating helicopter blades and tail rotors, mechanical malfunction of helicopters, and pilot error that may result in bodily injury or death. 
• I understand float plane users should be aware that travel by float place or in the vicinity of float planes includes exposure to being struck by the wings or tail, rotating blades, and pilot error that may result in bodily injury or death. 
• I understand crossing the Squamish river to access the trail up to Lake Lovely Water carries the risk of unexpected water entry, being swept away or drowning 
• I understand crossing the Squamish River by the cable carries the risk of being stuck part way across, inversion if clipped in and fall resulting in inversion resulting in injury or death or falling into the water, being swept away or drowning.
• I understand that the route from Tantalus Hut to Haberl Hut is not accessible by a summer trail and involves travel over glaciated and other hazardous terrain.
• I understand the people using the boats at Tantalus Hut at Lake Lovely Water will use the provided life jackets and for children parents will take in your own life jackets and if no life jackets are available people will not use the boats at the risk of drowning. The boats will not be loaned out to non booked in guests.
• I understand the outflow creek adjacent to the Tantalus Hut is deep and fast flowing and adults should closely monitor children.
• I understand the area around the Tantalus and Haberl Huts is rugged and not suitable for children.
• I understand that I and all of my group are responsible for removing all of our garbage.
• I understand that I and all of my group are responsible to clean the hut following the guidelines in the hut and the written instructions on the preceding pages
• I understand that dogs (or other pets) are not allowed in the Huts or tied up around the huts
• I understand that I have fully read the Hut Use and Booking guidelines document and all preceding hut website pages for important information relevant to my stay and the upkeep of the Huts and that I have ensured the people in my booking have read them also.  In particular, NOTE:  There are no refunds for any reason.  If you cannot fly up to the Tantalus hut then Hiking up is an option.  For River crossing contact BC Parks at the Squamish/Brackendale office or Squamish Water Sports. If you cannot get into your hut, you can move your reservation to another open spot during the same booking season.  Contact back through your original booking confirmation email. Reservations are NOT carried over to the next season.  Please understand this no carry over and don’t book unless you understand this.
• I understand the risks involved with backcountry travel, and realize that navigation to and from the Tantalus and Haberl Huts, as well as proper safety management for this trip, is my responsibility.
• I understand that ensuring potable drinking water is my responsibility
• I understand after March 1st until the end of ski season, Wag bags or another method of Human waste removal at the Haberl Hut maybe required to be taken in as a backup should the outhouse be buried by snow or otherwise not accessible.  All waste to be flown out along with all your garbage upon departure.  (Wag bags can be purchased at MEC or other outdoor stores)
• I understand the ACC Vancouver Section at anytime may make changes to any aspect of this document (including the cancellation policy or huts rates).  It is up to the user to familiarize themselves with it and review it frequently for any changes.
• I understand the lock code will be sent as late as the night before my trip as it can change frequently and if I have not received it, it is the responsibility of my group booking person to reach out and request it using the confirmation email and with this the ACC and the user will both take responsibility to ensure the code is sent. 
• I understand Tantalus Hut cellular access on the highpoint of the emergency helipad just beyond the outhouse is possible at times and that sometimes calls and texts work and that Emails can be attempted should communication be necessary with the ACCV as Email their mode of communication. 
• I understand any emergency should be directed to 911 or to my emergency contact to initiate a SAR call out and that preparedness for backcountry travel is the responsibility of the hut users with which we must provide our own reliable mode of communication for emergencies. 
• I understand mine and my groups cell numbers and emails are required for booking and will be given to search and rescue/emergency services or to COVID tracking services should I or someone in my group or on our behalf initiates a search or one of us becomes ill with COVID.
