RESCHEDULED FROM DEC 11. The Dolomite Peak
Circuit is one of the finest
ski tours in the Canadian Rockies. The beauty
of this tour, across alpine snow-fields high
above tree line, is extraordinary. A classic
ski long ski tour, 19 km with 650 m + elevation
gain. The circuit starts at Helen Creek on the
Ice Field Parkway and ends at Mosquito Creek.
Because this tour does not return to the same
point on the highway, we will need two cars.
This will be a full day of touring against a
moderate day of light, so participants need to
be prepared for a continuous touring day,
although conditions permitting we will include
some great ski turns above Katherine Lake.
Participants are required to have AST 1 and
capable of skiing in varied conditions. Our
meeting / carpool location will be at Laggans
in Lake Louise. Please arrive EARLY so we can
have a hello, trip overview, sign waivers, grab
a coffee and hit the road promptly at 7:45. We
can also organize those coming from Calgary
into a carpool if interested.

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.
