| Itinerary: |

We will begin with the evening of the 14th and 15th at the Peyto
Hut then proceed Sunday evening to Bow Hut giving us a good
chance at several peaks in the area or at the very least some good
skiing. Monday night I reserved The Balfour Hut for 2 nights and
then we have plenty of options to hopefully make it to the Scott
Duncan Hut for one last night before skiing out on the 19th or the
20th. I think this is the best way to experience the Wapta Traverse
especially if you are new to glacier travel and multi-day backcountry
ski trips. It will give us our best opportunity for success at both
completing the traverse as well as skiing as much as possible.

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.
