| Itinerary: |
|
The plan is to go ski somewhere along the Smith-
Dorrien. If avalanche and weather conditions
allow we will try combining the Purple Knob and
Hero Knob loops (up to 1200m elevation gain,
depending on starting point). If conditions are
Considerable or higher, or the weather is poor we
will likely yoyo whatever good skiing we can find.
If we find some beta that suggests ski quality in
K-country is poor will change our destination to
Highway 93N.
Pace for the day will be quick-ish (expect uphill
pace to be 400m per hour). It is supposed to be
cold on Saturday, the trip will be canceled if day
time highs in the valley bottom are lower than
-17C. See www.mountain-forecast.com
If we haven't skied together please send me a
quick email or text briefly detailing your
experience, fitness, downhill ability, etc.

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.
