This posting is reserving spots on the calendar
for the Bow-Yoho 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 3-4 nights, and is Bow Hut on March
21, Guy on March 22, Stanley Mitchell on March
23
and 24. The group may select to exit Sunday
instead of Monday depending on conditions.
The cost is $140 per person, not including
wilderness passes, which you must purchase
separately. The Bow Yoho is a classic and the
added day at Stanley Mitchell potentially
allows
for more great skiing at one of the best
locales
in the Rockies - 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
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 training of trip leaders within the
Calgary section. Why? Because we
have a high demand for trips and want more good
trip leaders in order to meet that
demand. We appreciate your support in
this endeavour.
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.
