“Nobody ever died wishing they had spent more
time behind a desk.”
Will Gadd is one of the top outdoor adventure
athletes in the world (Outside, Men's Journal
and Explore.). He is best known for wild
outdoor adventures in multiple different
sports, but he's most proud of his ability to
complete those adventures safely and share them
with others. He has appeared in, hosted or
produced more than 100 global television
projects. He is an award-winning writer (New
York Times, Men's Journal, etc.), film maker,
and dad (no awards yet). His book on ice
climbing is the top publication in its field,
and has been translated into five languages.
Gadd's presentations on "Risk and Reward" and
related topics take him all over the world to
speak to audiences ranging from Nike and
Enbridge to at-risk youth. He is a National
Geographic “Adventurer of the year" and
recently became the first person to climb a
frozen Niagara Falls. Last winter he used his
ice climbing skills to find new life forms
under a glacier, a world first. He is an ACMG
guide, and uses way too much spice in his
cooking.

Within the business portion of this members
meeting a proposal will be made for the club to
book a private hut for the purpose of skiing in
the 2019 and 2020 ski seasons. These trips will
be ran on a cost recovery basis. The amount of
the deposit requires approval by membership.
Specific questions can be addressed in advance by

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.
