Two weekends in Rogers Pass and two weekends
drowning in
POW. Last weekend we once again employed the
secret juju-
sauce of a) a map b) a weather forecast and c) our
brains
to find killer, killer snow. Like, hip deep - and
that
doesn't even take into account the 20+cms of new
snow that
are hitting the pass right now. Basically - we
have another
guaranteed weekend of killer snow.
Just like the last two weekends, the game plan is
to do
some motel accessed skiing in Rogers Pass. This
will
parallel another similar (and full) trip heading
out and
staying in the Wheeler Hut. You know what the
problem with
the Wheeler Hut is? No 'lectricity, which means no
slow
cooker, which means no Boeuf Bourgignon waiting
for you
when you walk through the door.
We'll be leaving from Our Lady of the Assumption
School at 6pm and then staying in a motel in
Golden for the next two nights while bagging turns
by day.
This trip is friendly to a broad range of
experience
levels, but you should be prepared for ~1500m days
(not
monster days, but we're not going to be taking it
super
easy either) and you should be comfortable being
involved
in your safety decisions.
We'll most likely be staying at the Brookside
Motel - my
home away from home - and depending on numbers,
you should
be prepared to pay up to about $75 for the two
nights
combined. There's a kitchenette so we'll do a
communal meal
on Saturday night which will probably actually be
boeuf
bourgignon plus whatever else you, the aspirant
participant
feel like bringing.

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.
