This classic Rockies ascent gains 1300 meters over 8 km's.
We will be travelling on huge slopes so good snow stability will
be required. The total ski distance is 16km's with over a
1000m
ski descent so we will be moving quite fast. Still, expect this to
take up to 10 hours.
If avalanche hazard is too high and / or weather less than ideal
we will end up skiing lower down on the mountain (where there
are trees for greater safety)
Please specify your level of avalanche training, skiing ability
and
how much skiing you have done this year in the comments
section (if you have not skied with me already).
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
|
Avalanche transceiver (newer 2 or more antenna), probe,
shovel,
warm clothing, food, water, good attitude. DOn't forget your
skis,
poles and skins :-)

day.
Also you must be able to ski anything from crust to powder
and
everything in between.

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.
