About the Camp
This week-long camp is based at the ACC's historic Fairy
Meadow hut in the Selkirk mountains. It's a spectacular setting,
with lots of glaciation
around. See the ACC's website at htt
p://www.alpineclubofcanada.ca/facility/fairy.html for lots
of info about the hut
and its location. What a great early Christmas present for
yourself or someone you love, a week of powder skiing in the
Adamants!
The camp will be catered for a very reasonable price of
$60/day. That means you show up saturday morning at the
helipad with your gear and Mo's Mountain Cuisine will have 3
great meals a day for you prepared by your own backcountry
cook. (www.mosomountaincuisine.com)
We access the hut by helicopter, from a staging area on Hwy
1 west of golden - there's a map showing the staging area
location on the above
website. We fly in on Saturday January 4th and fly out on
Saturday
January 11th. In case you haven't been around helicopters in the
winter you should know
that sometimes flights are delayed because of poor weather or
poor visibility - there's nothing we can do about that, and no
refunds will be issued in
case of flight delays. If you are interested in purchasing any
insurance against this scenario the national section club house
has very affordable rates to help put your mind at ease.
During the week we will take day trips to the many great
skiing areas around the hut. Frequently these trips will involve
glaciers - so you need to
be proficient at glacier travel. This is a self-guided camp, so all
participants must be comfortable in avalanche terrain. The
amount of terrain to explore is limited only by our ambition and
fitness level.
This camp is run on a break-even basis.
