To ensure you get the dates and size of group you want, we encourage you to book as soon as your dates are established.
Some of our guests make their reservations up to a year in advance, so don’t wait too long to contact us.
Payment in full is due at the time of booking. Please be sure to read our payment policy.
If you prefer, tips can be added at the time of booking. The typical tipping amount in the industry is 10–20 % of the total tour cost: the same as you would extend for service in a restaurant or similar setting. At Selkirk Powder, tips are pooled and shared among guides, snowcat drivers (for snowcat trips), and your reservations agent.
Change of plans
We recommend travel insurance policies with cancel-for-any-reason-coverage for peace of mind and reducing your exposure should you want to cancel due to conditions not being to your liking. We’ve selected a policy to consider.
You may request date or time changes outside of 45 days of your booking; changes at and inside of 45 days are not possible. Changes to your reservation are subject to availability and incur an administrative fee of $100 per change. Please be sure to read our full cancellation policy.
Special requests
Yes, we can: please notify us at least three days in advance.
Other activities
There are plenty of activities nearby for those who don’t ski, snowboard, or snowmobile.
For options of our own, we offer sightseeing tours by snowcat or helicopter.
Keeping to Schweizter Village, one might enjoy a massage at the Schweitzer Wellness spa.
Other possible activities at the mountain include tubing, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, and events for kids –
don’t hesitate to contact Schweitzer’s Activity Center, which is a great resource for more information and activities.
Lastly, sleigh rides at Western Pleasure Guest Ranch and shopping can be found in Sandpoint.
