If we have not skied together before, please send me an email confirming your experience and type of avalanche transceiver (must be digital 3 antenna).
Required Items to Bring:
Shovel (metal only), digital 3 antenna transceiver, probe, head lamp, plus the usual clothing / gear food for such a trip.

*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.
