Be safe, watch out for one another. Your
arrival times back home will be completely
dependent on the trip you choose to participate
in.
Please remember money to pay for camping and
food. Camping is ~$30 a site (participants to
pay Parks directly for their sites when they
arrive) and dinner will be $15. We are making a
change from last year, and participants will be
required to pay for dinner up-front. In the
past we've lost money when only half the
registered participants show up. Please help us
stick to the budget! You can do an email money
transfer to: treasurer@acccalgary.ca. You
must submit your payment for dinner prior to
January 7th.
Trip Leaders:
Since the group is more spread out this
year,
and we have
much better cell reception, we will not be
using
radios. If you get into trouble, call 911
first.
Then call Mark
(403-681-9906) or Nicole (403-671-9415) to let
us
know. If you
are going to be late, you might also want to
send
us a message
so we do not eat your chilli!
Beginners:
If you have climbed ice 0 or 1 times before,
stay posted, we normally have at least one
beginner friendly trip on the calendar for the
weekend.
For those of you who wish to bring under-aged
members out for the weekend -you will need to
sign
a special waiver for the under-aged participant
and the guardian that signs the waiver will
have
to be in the company of the participant for the
period of time that the under-aged participant
is
involved in the trip. We are happy to have ACC
members of ALL AGES attend these events but the
nature of winter camping, ice climbing, and the
nature of this event make it important that
the under-aged participant be in the company of
a
parent or guardian at all times.

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.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
