Mark your Calendars! Ice Review is
Coming! UPDATE: We will be camping at the Tunnel
Mountain Village II walk in sites. They are
~$30/site/night, but people can
share a site making that cost reasonable.
Dinner will be provided for Saturday night
at the campsite for $25, which includes a meal
prepared by a red seal chef
(butter chicken w/veggies, rice & naan),
snacks, beverages, and door prizes. Payment
in advance is required to be sure we have
enough food on hand to feed everyone.
This posting is for the dinner/social part of
ICE REVIEW, all participants should also be
signing up for specific climbing trips as well.
Those will be posted in the weeks leading up to
the event.

Be safe, watch out for one another. Your
arrival times back home will be completely
dependent on the trip you choose to participate
in.
Please remember money to pay for camping and
food. Camping is ~$30 a site per night
(participants to
pay Parks directly for their sites when they
arrive, you can share a site with a friend or
two to save costs) and dinner will be $25.
Similar to
last year, participants will be
required to pay for dinner up-front. In the
past we've lost money when only half the
registered participants show up. Please help us
stick to the budget! You can do an email money
transfer to: treasurer@acccalgary.ca. You
must submit your payment for dinner prior to
January 7th.
Trip Leaders: Please post your climbing trips to the
calendar, and select participants as you see
fit for the style of trip you are leading.
Trips can be for one or both days of the
weekend.... your choice! We will not be using
radios this year. If you get
into trouble, call 911 or activate the rescue
device of your choosing.
If you
are going to be finishing late Saturday night,
you
might also want to
send
us a message
so we do not eat your dinner!
Beginners:
If you have climbed ice 0 or 1 times before,
stay posted, we normally have at least one
beginner friendly trip on the calendar for the
weekend.
PAYMENT INSTRUCTIONS: Send an email transfer to
the treasurer at treasurer@acccalgary.ca. Then
send a separate email to
treasurer@acccalgary.ca with the following
information: That it is for ice review
coordinated by Susan, your name, your mailing
address, phone number, and most importantly,
the e-transfer password. DO NOT make our
treasurer guess the password, she hates that.
Once payment is confirmed, send me (Susan),
your confirmation and I'll put you on the list
ofor food!
For those of you who wish to bring under-aged
members out for the weekend -you will need to
sign
a special waiver for the under-aged participant
and the guardian that signs the waiver will
have
to be in the company of the participant for the
period of time that the under-aged participant
is
involved in the trip. We are happy to have ACC
members of ALL AGES attend these events but the
nature of winter camping, ice climbing, and the
nature of this event make it important that
the under-aged participant be in the company of
a
parent or guardian at all times.

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.
