This posting is reserving spots on the calendar
for the Wapta Traverse. Please note that Tyler is
a coordinator only and will not be attending. If
you are interested in leading this trip please
email Tyler at ski@acccalgary.ca. The trip cost
is waived for the trip leader.
The trip is 4 nights, March 2 at Peyto Hut, March
3 and 4 at Balfour hut and March 5 at Scott
Duncan. The full trip is March 2 - 6th. The
cost is $125 per person, not including wilderness
passes, which you must purchase separately. The
Wapta is a classic and this trip promises to be a
fantastic trip.
Once the coordinator has responded to you with
regards to your eligibility for the trip you can
secure a spot by sending your payment (via e-
transfer) to the Treasurer along with the
following information: Name, Full Address with
postal code, phone number, email, event title and
date, trip leader/coordinator and the password to
accept the payment. These details assist the
bookkeeper in sending out receipts for payments.
Once I have confirmation from the Treasurer that
you have paid your deposit, I will move you from
the waiting to the attendee list. The easiest way
to send payment is via e-transfer.

Notes:
If you are interested please sign up and send an
email to the trip coordinator(s) with your
experience level, including your fitness level,
ski ability and avalanche/crevasse rescue
knowledge. The trip traverses complex avalanche
terrain as well as serious glacier terrain and it
is highly
recommended participants have AST 2 and first aid.
Please be somewhat specific in your response with
regards to your ability: i.e. “I have taken AST
1, get out 5 times per year, typically ski 750m a
day. For downhill ability, I find diamonds
relatively tough and like to take my time. I just
took crevasse rescue this year, but haven’t
touched a rope since” or “I’ve been to this
specific area 10x in the past two years. I get
out 50+ days a year, have taken AST 2 and more,
typically ski 2000m a day, love to charge double
diamonds at the ski hill, and can pull someone out
of a crevasse in under 30 minutes solo.”
There are no refunds for cancellations by
participants unless the participant finds a suitable
replacement.
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.
Trip Feedback If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
