We have the AO Wheeler hut booked for the
nights of November 20th and 21st for a family
trip. Members are invited to come with their
families and enjoy the snow of Roger's Pass in
the comfort of the Wheeler hut. There will be
lots of family winter activities such as snow
fort making, snowshoeing, snowball fighting,
snowman making, tobogganing and whatever else
you can think of to do in the early season
snow! Kids of all ages are welcome, bring your
parents!
We'll rendezvous as we can at the parking lot
on Friday afternoon or evening and port our
stuff in the 2 kilometers into the hut, bring
your sled or toboggan to haul your gear! For
those of you who haven't been there, please
contact the Trip Coordinator for details.
We'll all leave on Sunday with beaming smiles
and a renewed bounce in our step.
Potluck meals will be organized once the
attendee list is finalized.
Family Trip - all ages welcome.
Self-led trips of our own making.
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
Depends on what activities that you plan on
engaging in:
- Toboggans
- Snowshoes
- X-Country Skis
If you have any questions about what other gear
to bring, please contact the Trip Coordinator.
The short story is that it's going to be a
winter wonderland up there! :-)
The hut is heated by 2 wood stoves - though
there
is likely some there, bringing paper and
matches
would be a decent idea. It has all required
utensils, dishes etc., propane stoves, ovens
and
lights and 2 outhouses (as outhouses goes, they
are
comfy). There should be plenty of wood with
axes and mauls to
cut it up. There are sleeping pads - you might
want
to bring sheets, depending on your
sensibilities.
More information will be circulated closer to
the
date; such as the combination for the lock in
case
you plan on getting there early.
Anything else, drop me a line!

|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |
Ear plugs could be high on the list for
some! :)
Song books and musical instruments if you have
them! Books, games....

|
| How to Get There: |
| Event Directions: |
|
Access to the parking lot is by turning left
(coming from Calgary) off the
Trans-Canada Highway approximately 3.5 kilometers west of
the Rogers Pass information centre.
On the south side of the highway, just past
"the 90" (90 degree turn after the Rogers Pass
summit) there is a sign for the turnoff to the
Illecillewaet and parking area.

| Notes: |
Be sure to register all adults and add the kids
as guests with their ages please! This trip is
a great way to get your kids out in the
mountains. It's also a great way to meet other
ACC members with kids to get out and do things
with.

Section Treasurer by email transfer to
treasurer@acccalgary.ca or by cheque mailed to:

Payment is due by November 13, 2015.
Cancellations after November 13, 2015 will only
receive a refund if a replacement is found.
Adult cost for hut is $50/person, each child is
$25/person. Payments can be made as outlined
above. You can arrive or leave on the Saturday,
but both night's cost will still need to be

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.
