Ski from Bow hut to Stanley Mitchell hut in the Little Yoho Valley.
Winter camp for 1 or 2 nights on the way over and hopefully
summit and ski some nice runs along the way. Several variations
exist if snow conditions make travel through a few certain
objective hazards unwise. Hopefully weather and Ular will be on
our side and maybe we will even be able to summit and ski
something in the Little Yoho Valley before the long ski out to
either Field or Emerald Lake.
Participants must be comfortable with winter camping, glacier
travel, crevasse & companion rescue as well as being physically
fit and proficient skiers in all conditions.

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.
