This posting is reserving spots on the
calendar for the Asulkan Hut. 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. As an incentive the
hut fees are waived for the trip leader.
The trip is 2 nights at Asulkan Cabin. The
trip leader may suggest departing the evening
of the day before and staying in Golden so that
the group gets to the hut early in order to do
more skiing. The cost is $90 per person, not
ncluding 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.

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
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.
