When you check out, you will agree to the terms and conditions which include the Cancellation Policy and Release of Liability for the Portillo 2024 Trip:
Cancellation Policy - Portillo, Chile 2024
All payments made by credit card confirm acceptance and knowledge of our cancellation policies.
All cancellations must be dated and in writing via email, confirmed by a response from the Clendenin Method.
Reminder: Trip insurance will cover most of these liabilities. We recommend buying trip insurance about June 1, 2024, after you have paid 50% of the total trip price. Again, we recommend trip insurance which covers cancellation for any reason. Our primary travel agent for trip insurance is Lance Cygielman (lance@aspentravel.com / (307) 734-9303).
- If you cancel by June 1, 2024, all payments are 100% refundable.
- Your second payment is required by June 1, 2024. If payment is not made by this date without notification of cancellation, your deposit will be returned less a $300.00 cancellation fee.
- For registrations cancelled between June 1, 2024, and July 20, 2024, payments to date will be returned less a $300.00 cancellation fee.
- Final payment is required by July 20, 2024. If payment is not made by this date without notification of cancellation, no refund is possible, unless you or we can fill your spot.
- From July 20, 2024, through the camp date, no refunds are possible with cancellation, unless you or we can fill your spot or unless "force majeure" is duly established and justified.
- For any shortening of stay or early departure whatever the reason, no refunds are possible.
Release of Liability - Portillo 2024
I have voluntarily applied to participate in a Clendenin Method Program. I understand that the sports of skiing and snowboarding pose risks of injury that are my responsibility. I assume these risks, including the risk posed by loss of control and collisions with other skiers or snowboarders, trees, rocks, racing gates, and manmade obstacles, whether they are obvious or not obvious.
I agree as consideration for being permitted to participate in the Clendenin Method program not to sue John Clendenin, Clendenin Productions LLC, Portillo, Mandarin Oriental, program and event organizers, staff, coaches, sponsors, and any of the associated officers, agents, or employees for injury or death resulting from participation in the ski or snowboard days and related activities in the Clendenin Method program, regardless of the cause, including negligence.
I hereby authorize the use and reproduction of any and all photographs, film, and video taken of me, without compensation, and I understand that all negatives and positives, together with the prints and/or tapes, shall constitute the property of Clendenin Productions LLC and John Clendenin.
Clendenin Productions LLC and the Clendenin Method Programs reserve the right to cancel or reschedule CM programs. CM will provide a full refund if a program is cancelled. A full refund will be provided if a program is rescheduled and a client is no longer able to participate.
You are responsible for meeting all requirements to travel to Chile and return to your home country. Again, we highly recommend trip insurance that covers cancellation for any reason.
I have read this agreement fully, and understand that this agreement is binding on my heirs and assigns, and that I am releasing certain legal rights that I otherwise may have.

- any client who has been or is currently being disruptive in a lesson, camp, or tour.
Qualified CM-certified Coaches will be present at CM trips. Clendenin Productions LLC does not guarantee that John Clendenin will be present at any CM trips.
The trip rates are based on a minimum of 12 people committing to the trip. We reserve the right to cancel the trip if we don't have 12 people committed by June 1, 2024 (If the trip is cancelled, your deposits will be refunded).
