Skin up Sunshine resort and hit the backcountry
area in search for powder (just went there, and
found LOTS). Alpine likely still touchy, thus
probably focusing below tree line.
Expect a
bit of exploration and mixture of terrain,
including steeps and tight areas - you need to
be comfortable with this. There should be some
nice pillows as well :) Also expect a good
workout on trail breaking, snow was deep on
Tuesday.
If we have not skied together before, please
send me a brief note with 1) your skiing skill
level, 2) your backcountry experience and 3)
type of transceiver.
Required Items to Bring:
Transceiver (3 antenna digital), shovel (metal
only), probe, helmet, headlamp, plus the usual
food / clothing for a potentially long day / etc.

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.
