Itinerary:
With the avi risk relatively low and the weather forecast calling for clear sunny skies on Sunday we thought this would be a good opportunity to attempt the Spray Range Traverse. A detailed description can be found in Chic Scott's book, but the general idea is we start at the Burstall Parking Lot and ski over three "cols" to Tent Ridge. We will need to shuttle a car to the exit point. There are overhead hazards, and large slopes on this Traverse so a final decision to go a head will be made on Sunday morning. If we deem the hazard too high the plan is to do the French- Haig-Robertson Traverse. This will be a long day with a significant amount of climbing so participants must be in good shape.
Required Items to Bring:
AT/Tele Equipment, Shovel, Beacon, Probe, Food, Water

*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.
