Itinerary:
Car pool to Sunshine ski area parking lot. Ski up Healy Ck trail to Healy meadows and over the pass to Egypt Lake. We will be snow camping at the Egypt Lake (not staying in the shelter). The objective of the trip is to fine-tune our snow camping skills in preparation for other ski tours and mountaineering objectives. On Sunday we will ski down Pharaoh Creek and Red Earth Creek. Since we are not returning to Sunshine, we will require a car drop at Red Earth Creek.
Required Items to Bring:
Usual ski gear (AT or Tele), avi beacon, probes, shovel. Winter camping gear; tent, sleeping bag, stove, cooking equipment, food, etc. Extra warm clothes suitable for overnight camping. Lots of funny stories to tell around the stove (no campfires in the park, bummer)! Park pass.

Recommended Items to Bring:
Camera, more food and liquids, emerg/1st aid/repair kit.

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.
