This is a beginner ski tour with a focus on getting out and moving in the backcountry.

Please note that I may change our destination or postpone this trip based on weather, snow conditions, and/or other factors to ensure that this is a safe and positive experience for all participants. The current forecast looks like we could have an extremely cold morning - we'll have to monitor this and manage the associated risks accordingly.

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.
