Forms
Clicking here will bring you to a application for you to complete and return with your payment. Health and Liability forms will be sent to you after we receive your completed application and payment. All forms must be filled out, signed, and returned before you can participate in an event.
Physical
Condition
Anyone in average physical condition can expect to complete these activities. If there are any questions about your ability to participate, we will be happy to discuss them with you. In questionable cases, the decision to participate will lie with the participant and his or her physician. Participants must take responsibility for their own health-related issues at events. If you are interested in attending an event as a guide, please be assured that training in guiding a visually impaired/blind person is available at events. However, it is expected that guides have prior experience and skill with cross country skiing and snow shoeing. Everyone’s enjoyment will be enhanced by any measures taken to improve physical fitness and stamina before the event. All guides and participants must be at least eighteen years of age.
Transportation
Transportation to events is a shared responsibility. We will make every effort to have transportation available by carpooling. Guides are encouraged to let us know if you are willing to drive and just how many passengers you can take. All passengers are expected to contribute towards the cost of gasoline and tolls. If you are coming to an event from out of town, do not make travel plans back home on public transportation prior to 7:00 pm on the final day of an event. It is very difficult to guarantee a return to transportation centers prior to this time without disrupting other participants' plans.
Guide
Dogs
Although guide dogs are welcome on most trips, there are restrictions that may impact your participation in some activities. On the last day of an event, after checkout time you will be responsible for attending to your dog. Please consider this when deciding whether or not to bring your dog.
