    Cancellations happen all season long

    Plans change, and when they do, spots go right back into the DOC booking system. DOC even recommend checking back after the initial rush. Schnerp just makes sure you hear about it first.

    We alert, you book. We never book on your behalf. You book directly through DOC.

    Saves hours of refreshing. Catching a cancellation manually means refreshing the DOC website hundreds of times a day.

    Empty huts help no one. Filling cancelled spots means more more trampers on the trails and more revenue for DOC.
