| Itinerary: |
|
Depart Calgary painfully early in the morning as if you were going
to Rogers pass for the day but with far easier driving conditions and
traffic. Arrive at Waterton Park 3hrs after leaving the carpool and
begin the short climb up any number of ridges leading as far as one
can go before dropping down beautiful old growth glades. Plenty of
different aspects to ski if conditions are variable.
|
| Required Items to Bring: |

AT gear (split borders welcome)

Probe
Beacon (no single antenna models)
|
|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |

|
| How to Get There: |
| Event Directions: |
|
Go South on HWY 2 jog West on HWY 3 to Pincher Creek then South
again until you almost hit the US border. Enter Waterton National
Park one of the most under-visited national parks, especially in the
winter. Lucky you! a winter ski paradise closer than rogers pass that
is truly a gem.

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.
