Weather Cancellation Policy
Trips or lessons may be cancelled or postponed by Tug Hill Outfitters guides if unsafe weather conditions are anticipated. Unsafe weather conditions may include heavy rain, thunder and lighting, extreme temperatures, or high winds. If a trip is cancelled, guides/business owners will reach out to the person(s) who booked the trip, providing at least 4 hours advance notice prior to when the trip was scheduled to take place. If inclement weather happens on your scheduled trip date, clients have the following options:
- Delaying the trip to a later time that day if conditions are expected to improve, if there is availability
- Rescheduling the trip for a different date
- Cancelling the trip and receiving a full refund
If you are concerned about the forecasted weather on your upcoming trip date, please contact Tug Hill Outfitters by phone (call or text) or email as soon as possible.
