This mentorship event is part of the AMP (Alpine
Mentorship) program and is will be lead by ACMG
Guide Brent Peters. Brent is a CSIA Level 2
Instructor (working on his Level 3). The goal of
this event is to improve your downhill skiing
technique in back country conditions. It is run at
a ski resort to maximize your downhill time.
The cost of this event is $85 (including GST). You
will also have to buy a lift ticket for the day.
The day will start with a warm up run and an
introduction to PPTTEE, the 6 zones that we can be
in - physical, psychological, tactical, technical,
environment, equipment. We will ski without packs
for the morning and work drills to achieve
balanced centred skiing. Some of the skiing will
be videoed and reviewed over lunch. Steeper skiing
after lunch with or without a pack depending on
how the group is advancing. Video skiing,
afternoon review and ski out.
Please note, AMP events are coaching/mentorship
and not courses or a typical guided day. You
should be prepared as you would for any non-guided
ACC ski tour.<\p>
After signing up please send Ivars an email
detailing your downhill ski ability and fitness
level (email: ifinvers@shaw.ca). AFTER you have been
approved you need to send a payment to
treasurerAMP@acccalgary.ca and email Ivars the
confirmation of payment. If you don't pay within 2
days of being selected we will move onto the next
participant. If you have any questions please
email or text Ivars at 403-612-2904.

There will be no refund for cancellations.
Courses will run
regardless of weather unless the guide deems
conditions unsafe
then a back-up option may be executed. This is to
be decided by
the guide the evening before.
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.
