Itinerary:
** Please note- this is NOT a beginner ski trip. You must be a strong skier (both on the uptrack and survival ski to get down the ice/crust/sun slopes)** This classic Rockies ascent gains 1300 meters over 8 km's. We will be travelling on huge slopes so good snow stability will be required. The total ski distance is 16km's with over a 1000m ski descent so we will be moving quite fast. Still, expect this to take up to 10 hours. If avalanche hazard is too high and / or weather less than ideal we will rethink this trip (and may look at other options). Please specify your level of avalanche training, skiing ability and how much skiing you have done this year in the comments section (if you have not skied with us already).
Required Items to Bring:
Avalanche transceiver (newer 2 or more antenna), probe, shovel, ski crampons, boot crampons, ice axe, warm clothing, food, water, good attitude. Don't forget your skis, poles and skins :-)

Recommended Items to Bring:
personal first aid, blister stuff, emergency shelter, repair kit

How to Get There:
Carpool Departure Time:   05:00 AM
Carpool Location:   Our Lady of Assumption School Parking Lot
Carpool Directions:   7311 - 34 Avenue NW Where Hwy 1 meets Sarcee

Notes:
You must be fit as we will be moving steadily through this long day. Also you must be able to ski anything from crust to powder and everything in between.

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.
