I'm a beginner can I still join?Yes! We have plenty of beginner friendly trips. Part of our mission is actually to help people who have never been exposed to the types of environments we work in and activities we do have the chance to come and give it a go. Read each trip's description to see if it is suitable for beginners and if you are not sure then get in touch and we can talk it through.
-
Can I bring my friends or partner with me?Of course! Our trips are about making friends as well as having an experience so we ask you come to come with an inclusive attitude that encourages you to hang out with more than only the people you came with. But other than that, bring your mum, your partner, your sister, your random friend you met that one time in Sydney airport. Come! If you are more than three, consider booking a private trip. Email us at info(at)snowstorm adventures.com.
-
I'm an introvert, are these trips for me?We make our trip work for the team that we meet, not a preconceived notion of who you are. In general, we encourage both time with other guests and time with your self to connect with the space. If you need more time to yourself then just let your guide know and we will figure something out.
-
How fit do I need to be?It depends on each trip. Some require a lot, others not so much. We try to write a good description for the fitness required for each trip and if you're not sure please do get in touch and we can talk it through and help.
-
Can you help me with fitness?Not really. We try to give general advice on what types of activity to consider but we are not trained beyond that. But if you are looking for coaching we highly recommend Jon Fearne at www.E3Coach.com who is Jen's coach. We also know Stuart at www.trekandclimbfitness.com who specialises in fitness for hiking and expeditions.
-
Who are your women-only trips for?Our women-only trips are for ALL people who identify as female.
-
What's the accommodation like?Accommodation can range from unstaffed mountain shacks with one large alpine bed everyone sleeps on, to mountain cabins with hosts who will greet us and cook dinner for us through to luxury hotels (sometimes you just need a couple of nights luxury after a long time in a tent!). Rest-assured, they will all be hand picked for either their quality, their charm or because there's something cool about them.
-
What's the food like?Hearty and Norwegian. In cabins where we are hosted, usually there is a set three course meal. It's always very good quality and nutritious. In cabins without the host, the guide will cook and you will be part of the clear up party. In tents we use Firepot dehydrated meals and some easy to prepare foods. Most of the time dietary requirements can be catered for. You must tell us as soon as possible if you have any so we can tell the accommodation providers. It takes time to order food in the mountains and they can't just go to the store if we surprise them with dietary requirements.
-
Should I bring my own snacks?Yes! Bring your favourite snacks. We don't provide snacks and generally there is not a lot to buy at our destinations so it's smart to bring things with you. We'll send you information about what's required for your trip specifically when you book with us.
-
Are flights included?No. Please make sure your trip is 'confirmed to run' before booking travel. This means we know enough people are booked on and as far as we are concerned the trip will go ahead.
-
How do I pay for the trip?Essentially, choose the dates that fit you, accepts the terms and conditions and payment and cancellation policy, pay the non-refundable deposit are your spot is secured. Once we receive your deposit we will be in touch with more information about the trip and to send you the invoice and timeline for full payment. You can pay the deposit using Paypal or with Stripe for debit or credit cards. The final balance is paid as bank transfer.
