| Notes: |
|
As this is a BITS trip, preference will be given to members with little to no experience in the backcountry, and those who have not yet attended a BITS trip either this year or in previous years. However, an introductory avalanche course and intermediate skiing ability are assets and will increase everyone's enjoyment of the trip.

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.
