Change of location, there are a number of BITS trips running to Healy, so I decided to change it up a bit. This trip is for those new to the backcountry, and those wishing to expand their current knowledge. We will tour up to Helen Lake, check snow conditions, discuss terrain and avi conditions, and hopefully get in a few turns.
Required Items to Bring:
Avi Transceiver, probe, shovel, skis, skins, poles.

Lunch, hot drink, down or equivalent jacket to wear when stopped, any required personal gear, firat aid kit, small repair kit for your gear.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!

*Cancellation Policy*: If a participant is unable to attend a paid course or trip, there will be no refund unless the participant finds a suitable replacement that is acceptable to the trip coordinator. Acceptable waiting list candidates will have priority. It will then be the participant's responsibility to recover funds from the replacement. If the coordinator cancels an event, participants get a refund (less any non-recoverable costs). Note that ACC National does not refund hut fees due to weather, delay, closures, or any other reasons. The Calgary Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
