Itinerary:
We have a week at Kokanee Glacier Chalet! Fly in March 5th and out on the 12th. This is a self-guided, self-catered trip in fabulous terrain, with both above treeline skiing for blue sky days, and lots of glades skiing for the snowy days. The hut is quite luxurious,with indoor plumbing, propane and elctricity. Total cost is $1100 including hut, helicopter and cleaning supplies. A portion of the camp managers flight and hut fees will be shared equally ($50 ea.) amongst participants in accordance with club policy. The remaining amount will be held until expenses are balanced and most likely a refund given following the trip. To register for the trip sign up on the website like any other club trip, the coordinator will contact you and confirm you're a suitable participant. You'll then be asked to send full payment to the coordinator to secure your spot. We fly into the hut on March 5th and out on the 12th. In case you haven't been around helicopters in winter you should be aware sometimes flights get delayed due to poor weather and/or visibility. There's nothing we can do about that and no refunds will be issued in case of flight delays. I just confirmed, there is cancelation insurance offered for purchase through the ACC National office, call 403-678-3200 and Jeff will help you out. We'll form groups of 2-3 and they will take turns preparing meals for the entire group. Everyone will be responsible for there own breakfasts, lunches and what ever they would like to drink. There is a weight restriction so people will have to keep their load within reason.
Required Items to Bring:
Something to slide around on AT, tele, splitboard, beacon ( 3 antenna), shovel, probe, daypack.

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.
