This posting is reserving spots on the calendar
for the Asulkan Hut.
The trip is 2 nights at Asulkan Cabin. We
will stay in Golden the evening of Nov 29 a so
that the group gets to the hut early on Nov 30
in order to do more skiing.
The cost is $80 per person, not including
wilderness passes, which you must purchase
separately.
Asulkan is the premier hut for skiing in
Rogers Pass and this trip promises to be a
fantastic trip.
Please wait until after the coordinator has
responded to you with regards to your
eligibility to pay for the trip.
Payment can be made via e-transfer to the
Treasurer at treasurerClub@acccalgary.ca along
with the following information: Name, Full
Address with postal code, phone number, email,
event title and date, trip leader/coordinator
and the password to accept the payment. These
details assist the bookkeeper in sending out
receipts for payments.
Once I have confirmation from the Treasurer
that you have paid your deposit, I will move
you from the waiting to the attendee list.
There are no refunds for cancellations by
participants unless the participant finds a
suitable replacement.
Required Items to Bring:
Overnight gear/food for hut, ski touring kit,
glacier travel kit.
How to Get There:
Carpool Departure Time:
06:00 AM
Carpool Location:
Car pool lot by COP
Notes:
If you are interested please sign up and send
an email to me with your experience level,
including your fitness level, ski ability and
avalanche/crevasse rescue knowledge. The trip
traverses serious glacier and complex avalanche
terrain and it is highly recommended
participants have AST 2, first aid
and crevasse rescue. Please be somewhat
specific in your response with regards to your
ability: i.e. “I have taken AST 1, get out 5
times per year, typically ski 750m a day. For
downhill ability, I find diamonds relatively
tough and like to take my time. I just took
crevasse rescue this year, but haven’t touched
a rope since” or “I’ve been to this specific
area 10x in the past two years. I get out 50+
days a year, have taken AST 2 and more,
typically ski 2000m a day, love to charge
double diamonds at the ski hill, and can pull
someone out of a crevasse in under 30 minutes
solo.”
*Please note: 10$ of the trip fee is going to
support trip leader training within the club.
Why? Because we have lots of demand for trips
and need more good trip leaders to fill the
demand. We hope you will support this
initiative.
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.
