*** Powder Hunt #2 ***

- Narao Shoulder -



This event series is all about seeking out that pristine stash of untracked powder!
*** Let's eat some snow! ***


Last week's event was a blast with beautiful, untracked, boot-top powder and three new Powder Hunters® beginning their training! Check out the photos >>HERE<<<

This week we'll shoot to do about 1500 meters vertical if the snow is good. This should involve around 6.5 hours on the skis. If you're unsure of your ability, please feel free to contact me.

Please specify if you've taken AST1 or AST2 in the notes section when you register.

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.
