Itinerary:
Number has been increased because we can fit 3 people in two of the rooms and Jen now lives in Nelson and doesn't need a room. Woot woot. Do you think you are hard core? Do you think you have what it takes to cook your food in a full kitchen?, sleep in a heated building?, yo-yo in beautiful pow? If you do, you should consider signing up for this super duper hard core trip! AST1 and ability to assess your own avalanche risk is required. Decisions will be group based and everyone will be expected to contribute to the decision-making, even if it is just a "sure, I'm ok with that". Preference will be given to new and aspiring trip leaders. However, the ratio of experience will need to be kept realistic. The plan is to leave Friday afternoon (valentines day) and stay near Cranbrook, the most romantic city on the #3. We will likely ski in Kootenay Pass on Saturday before heading to Nelson that night. We will be based out of the Dancing Bear Inn and will find yo-yo destinations each day before heading home on Tuesday, Feb 18 (you will need to get this day off work). A beer to anyone who can crack 10,000 m in the 4 days. Going to aim for 3 cars of 4. Each car will cook one dinner and clean afterwards. Breakfast and lunches are a free for all. Cost will be ~$150 for hostel and hotel, plus gas and dinner.
Required Items to Bring:
Skis, skins, poles, boots, avalanche transceiver, probe and shovel. This is not a complete list.

Change of clothes

*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.
