| Itinerary: |
|
This is an intermediate ski tour, starting in
Fish Creek Parking lot (near Lake Louise), and
continuing up the Lake Louise ski-out, and up
to Halfway hut. From there, we'll head up to
Hidden Lake to a moderate slope to get some
runs in. Mostly a ski tour, and if time permits
a couple of ski runs as well. The pace will be
slow & steady friendly. A high level of
fitness is not required. This location has
options given the current avalanche hazard (we
can modify our route based on any changing
conditions). Participants must have at least
AST1 training, and be able to ski a blue run at
the resort. If you haven't skied with Vi or
Susan before, please email a description of
your ability and experience. A mix of
experienced and relative beginners are welcome
on the trip.
|
| Required Items to Bring: |
|
Your own assessment & knowledge of the current
avalanche conditions. Also avi gear (beacon,
probe, shovel). Whatever else you need for a
day ski trip. Email Vi if you have any
questions or concerns.
|
|
| Recommended Items to Bring: |
|
Your own opinions on the route and input into
group safety discussions. You don't have to be
an expert in the back-country, but you do have
to participate!

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.
