*** Powder Hunt #4 ***
- Black Prince -
This event series is all about seeking out that pristine stash of untracked powder!
*** Let's eat some snow! ***
Last week we hit the jackpot with beautiful, untracked, Certified BLOWER POW® in K-Country resulting in several reports of near religious experiences and Kyle eagerly jumping into his Powder Hunter™ training!
This week we'll try to follow the prime snow by going just a few valleys over... we'll shoot to do about 1000-1500 meters vertical if the snow is good. This should involve around 6 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.
- No older single antenna transceivers are allowed.
- Helmets are strongly recommended as we'll ski in the trees.
- A warm down jacket is recommended in case we need to stop at all.

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.
