• A trip/tour will only be cancelled in extreme weather and will be announced by the representative of Colorado Photography School either by phone or email.
• If bad weather is forecast but is likely to improve the trip/tour will continue as planned. This is often when the best photos can be made.
• Please check the weather report before the class and plan to be at the agreed meeting place before any bad weather moves in! Pay particular attention to mountain passes in the fall.
• A trip/tour will not be cancelled due to cold so please prepare. Down jackets, lots of layers and pocket warmers are a good idea!
• Be sure to bring sufficient all weather gear, as the instructor will not ask other photographers to leave a location if they are prepared to stay because others are ill prepared.
