|
This will not be an introductory course. Basic
mountaineering/glacier travel, crevasse rescue
and avalanche training (at least AST1) are
prerequisites for this course. These courses
are offered separately by the Section. These
skills will be reviewed, but recent
mountaineering training/experience and
backcountry ski experience are prerequisites
for participation. Participants should also be
at least strong intermediate skiers able to ski
in varying terrain and snow conditions.
Participants should add themselves to the
waitlist, email the course organizers to
confirm that they meet the prerequisites, will
then be moved from the waitlist to participants
list at which point they will be required to
pay the course fee to confirm their
participation. Please do not pay the fee before
getting your spot confirmed.
To pay, send an INTERAC e-Transfer to the ACC
Treasurer using the Treasurertandl@ACCCalgary.ca
email address. Please also send the e-Transfer
password to the treasurer in a seperate email
****and a payment confirmation email to the trip
coordinators****

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.
