OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

helmet on the mountain (see link above to Snowco website)

school. It is absolutely essential that you, as party leader, make full provision for this
eventuality (call for more details)

approximately 2 - 3 weeks prior to departure

travel)

allocated to the drivers (primarily for use by the 2nd driver through the night)
