Drive to Burstall Pass trailhead. Ascend French
Creek and glacier to the head of the Haig Glacier.
From the Haig, we ascend to the Robertson col, and
then ski down the Robertson Glacier. We return via
the Burstall Pass trail.
This is a long day - 20 km and 1300 metres
elevation gain - and requires a good level of
fitness. Participants need to be strong
skiers/riders and have avalanche training and
glacier travel experience.

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.
