MOUNT CAIN ALPINE PARK SOCIETY (MCAPS)

ACCOMMODATION RENTAL AND BOOKING POLICIES

(Updated: October 29, 2021)

MINIMUM AGE: You must be 19 years of age to book accommodations with Mount Cain.

OPERATING: Since insurance requires that an MCAPS Director or MCAPS Representative is on-site during accommodation rentals, and the access road is cleared only when the Mount Cain is open, MCAPS accommodations are NOT available when the Mount Cain is not operating. Operating does not mean that the lifts are in operation, only that accommodations are open.

· If guests give less than 30 days' notice in cancelling a booking, but 14 days or more, MCAPS will refund 50% of the payment.

· If the ski hill is closed due to unsafe weather or Covid related Government guidelines, MCAPS will cancel all accommodation bookings for the night preceding the closure and refund 100% of the payment of the accommodation.

· In event that Mount Cain is open and the ski lifts are not operating, accommodation patrons will be given the option of a full refund for nights that they choose not to stay.
