| Itinerary: |
|
Starting at Burstall trailhead, traversing
through Birdwood and
Smuts Passes, and out Commomwealth Creek.
Participants
should have at least AST1 avy course or
alternatively a good
number of years backcountry skiing experience.
We will
possibly encounter some poor, crusty skiing
conditions, so
skiing ability to deal with that would be good.
As the start and
finish are maybe 5km apart, I want us to have
at least two
vehicles, so we can place one at the
Commonwealth Creek
exit. There is a possibility that trip location
may change,
depending on conditions.
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
|
AT or Tele skis and climbing skins, obviously.
Must have Avalanche gear - modern
digital transceiver, probe and shovel, and the
usual clothing,
food and drinks for a day out.

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.
