This is a winter camping trip following the Pat Sheehan Traverse
(see Summits & Icefields 1 2nd ed., pg. 149). Previous winter
camping experience is required.
The plan is to meet in Lake Louise @ 6:00 on the Saturday
morning, from there car pool to the trail head. We will camp in
the vicinity of Castleguard Meadows that night. The next
morning, if weather permits, we will make an attempt on Mount
Castleguard and then ski out.
Katherine and I are planning to staying at the Lake Louise Hostel
on Friday night, everyone is welcome to join.

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.
