| Itinerary: |
From the Sunshine parking lot the route follows Healy Creek to the base of Healy Pass. It then turns S on a wide bench below the Monarch Ramparts. Just before Eohippus Lake, we climb up to the S end of the Ramparts and follow them back N to Healy Pass. From there, it's a quick ski down back to Sunshine. All participants must be competent in using an avalanche transceiver, probe, and shovel. This is a long trip. We'll be moving at a steady pace up to Healy Pass, about 3.5km/hr, with short stops along the way. Be prepared for a fast ski from Healy Pass back to the Sunshine parking lot.

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.
