| Itinerary: |
|
Stay Friday evening at the ACC Lake Louise hostel where we can
split up group gear and pack bags for an early start the next day as
well as shuttle a car to save time in the morning. Glacier travel may
be necessary depending on where conditions allow us to explore so
trip candidates must have experience/equipment required for
companion crevasse rescue. Get an early start to Saturday and gain
at least 1000m vertical then establish a camp somewhere we can do
some nearby yoyo skiing for the afternoon. Wake early again and
ski the rest of the loop to another waiting car and hopefully get in
some great views and turns on the way out.

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.
