The photos are sold per person or per group. The guest that purchases their package will get all the photos of themselves skiing as well as any group shots/scenic/cat shots etc. If someone in the group opts out of the photo package their pictures will not be included in the photo link.

Contact our office for details and pricing. Ensure you include a request for a photographer at the time of booking if you are interested.
