This trip is being coordinated in
conjunction with the ACC Saskatchewan
section. Six spaces have been graciously
offered to Calgary section members. The
Saskatchewan section will fill the other
six spots.
Located in the Northern Selkirks, east
of the Adamant range, the hut is situated
in some of the most rugged terrain in
Canada. The hut is remarkably well
designed, very comfortably sleeping 20
wet and well equipped skiers. Just at
tree line, the hut provides easy access
to terrain that is beautiful and serious,
right from the porch. Below the hut are a
few treed bowls that are peppered with
cliffs, shoots, avalanche paths and
terrain traps. The terrain above the hut
is significantly more complex with major
glaciers, some fine summits of varied
difficulty, all of which will require
careful evaluation.
When the conditions and weather
cooperate, there is a lot to do. Sir
William, Enterprise, Sentinel, Pioneer,
Daemon and Fria are all good ski
mountaineering objectives that require
little technical gear. Turns off Cycle
peak, Outpost bowl, the Forbes glacier,
Sir William, Granite Glacier, Houdini
Needles, Friendship Col, Fria and
Sentinel can all be great in the right
conditions. Map 82-N/13 and 82-N/12 will
show you the area and are also needed for
the trip.
Cost: $1100.00, 25% non refundable
deposit required at the time of booking
($275.00)to secure your spot.

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.
