The trip is 2 nights at Peyto Hut. Dates are
May 4-5-6. The cost is $65 per person, not
including wilderness passes, which you must
purchase separately. Peyto Hut is a great area
with some cool skiing 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

(treasurer@acccalgary.ca) along with the
following information:

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-

Objectives: Ski and climb nearby peaks(conditions
depend). North bowl of Mt habel, Mt rhondda, Mt
thompson, Mt baker, trapper peak, peyto peak,
Mistaya, are some of the options we would be
looking at. This trip requires people to have
strong skills in crevasse rescue as we will be
primarily on a glacier, avalanche rescue and
assessment, some objectives are in complex
terrain, and good physical fitness as we will be
carrying moderate to heavy packs to get to the
hut.
Required Items to Bring:
Ski touring kit, glacier kit, food, etc. A more
specific gear list can be obtained from the trip
coordinator(s).

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 complex
avalanche and glacier 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.”
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.
