This will be a two-day course led by Teresa Yau (ASG, AAG) for people who looking to become section/BITS ski leaders and who want to improve their backcountry ski & leadership skills in relation to leading trips - and especially BITS trips. The focus will be on skills & learning - not peak bagging or objectives.
Locations for the two days will be in Kananaskis Country or Banff/Kootenay/Yoho NP depending on conditions and guide's preference.
The
cost will be $250 based on 5 or 6 participants. The cost includes two
guided days (6:1 ratio) - accommodations & transport NOT included. If there only 4 participants, the cost will be roughly $300.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
If participants have to withdrawal after payment, they are responsible for finding a replacement acceptable to the coordinators. A wait list will be maintained if there are more people interested than spots available. If the course has to be cancelled due to insufficient interest, any payments will be refunded.
*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.
