Itinerary:
And what, you might ask, is a Borderski? A dream, an epic journey, a word that doesn't actually exist.... ...also an all-woman ski traverse of the eastern Pamir mountains—the "Roof of the World"—where Tajikistan, Afghanistan, China, and Kyrgyzstan bump edges, by seasoned expeditioners Rebecca Haspel, Kate Harris and Alison Criscitiello. The goal of this 2015 expedition was to document the impact of fences on migratory wildlife, particularly Marco Polo sheep, and to inspire others to think beyond borders, whatever shape they take. They themselves had to 'think outside the box' when their own plans were greatly impacted by borders and politics... and the driest winter in decades! If you haven't already done so, check out their Facebook page:- https://www.facebook.com/borderski NOTE!!! The date for this Event is TUESDAY 10th November - NOT the usual Wednesday, as Nov 11th is Remembrance Day. Don't Forget.
Recommended Items to Bring:
Cash for beers!

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.
