This is a classic K Country tour, starting at
Burstall trailhead,
traversing through Birdwood and Smuts Passes, and
out
Commomwealth Creek, approximately 21km long.
Participants should have at least AST1 avi
course and a season of backcountry skiing
experience. We can
expect crusty spring skiing conditions with
hopefully a dusting of
snow. The start and finish are about 5km apart,
we will need
to ski back to our car likely unless we have two
cars.
Required Items to Bring:
Transceiver, probe, shovel, AT or Tele skis,
skins, skin wax, goggles, warm clothes (layers),
sunglasses,
sunscreen, enough food and water/hot drink for
yourself.
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.
