Itinerary:
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: $1115.00, 25% non refundable deposit required at the time of booking ($275.00)to secure your spot. Note: This trip is being run on a cost recovery basis. A portion of your fee is being used to pay for the trip coordinator's fees.

Required Items to Bring:
More detailed information will be sent out to trip participants.

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.
