This 4 day trip will test your navigation and
route-finding skills. We will leave Calgary
Friday February 14 at 6:00 am and drive to Fernie
(about 3 hr drive) then ski to the hut; this
should take about 2 hrs. We will have to navigate
in avi terrain to get to the hut. We will drop our
packs off and enjoy a few runs before our 1st
night there. If avi conditions are high, this trip
will be
postponed. We will spend 3 nights at the hut.
Exploring the surrounding terrain for the next
3 days. Monday February 17 we will ski most of the
day then ski out late afternoon and drive back to
Calgary. Expect to be home late.
All participants are expected to participate in
route finding, avi conditions assessment and in
carrying group gear.

waitlist. If you have been selected, you will be

*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.
