| Itinerary: |
|
This is another trip focused on introducing skiers to slightly more
adventurous parts of the backcountry. The tour follows a trail
through heavy forest to a bench and continues as far as our legs
will carry us up and then great safe turns can be had in the trees or
in more slightly open areas at treeline. I reserve the right to change
the trip destination if conditions change making the route unsafe.

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.
