This posting is reserving spots on the calendar
for the Wapta Traverse. 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. The trip
cost
is waived for the trip leader.
The trip is 3 nights, and is Peyto Hut on April
11, Balfour on April 12, Scott Duncan on April
13.
The cost is $110 per person, not including
wilderness passes, which you must purchase
separately. The Wapta is a classic and this
trip
promises to be a fantastic trip.
Once the coordinator has responded to you with
regards to your eligibility for the trip you
can
secure a spot by sending your payment (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. The easiest
way
to send payment is via e-transfer.

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 complex
avalanche
terrain as well as serious glacier terrain and
it
is highly
recommended participants have AST 2 and first
aid.
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.
There are no refunds for cancellations by
participants unless the participant finds a
suitable
replacement.
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.
