Hoooooo-weeeee! We're back for a third? fourth?
installment of the Rogers Pass Trip for People
Scared of Rogers Pass.
Rogers Pass is arguably the best ski touring
destination on the planet. It's also &%$#ing
scary. The purpose of this trip is to help
people who have some experience touring, but
might not be super comfortable venturing into
huge, super complex terrain of Rogers Pass get
out there with a couple of experienced club
members and then spend the weekend skiing and
talking about how to have fun and safe weekend
in the pass.
The expectation of participants is that you're
fit enough to put in a solid day in the pass
(we generally target about 1500m of elevation
gain each day), and that you're a strong enough
skier to spend the day skiing trees with an
early season snowpack.
We'll be spending two nights at the Wheeler Hut
and will pick our ski objectives based on
conditions. The intent is to spend time
discussing our decisions, so bring a warm puffy
you can throw on while we talk about why the
Mouse-Trap is a terrible place to stop for
lunch, or why Frequent Flyer has that name.
Itinerary: Friday we take off from Calgary and
drive to Rogers Pass. We'll then ski tour up to
Wheeler (~2km) by headlamp and then discuss our
objectives for the next day. Saturday morning
we go ski and then we'll come back to the
Wheeler hut for a potluck dinner and plan our
Sunday objective. Sunday, we do that ski thing
again and then we'll close out the day driving
back to Calgary.
Cost: The cost is $75/person plus gas money for
your driver. Instructions for payment will be
mailed out when you get added to the trip.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
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.
