Itinerary:
The trip is 2 nights at Wheeler Hut. The cost is $85 (to be confirmed) per person, includes wilderness passes. Please wait until after the coordinator has responded to you with regards to your eligibility to pay for the trip. Payment can be made 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. There are no refunds for cancellations by participants unless the participant finds a suitable replacement.
Required Items to Bring:
Overnight gear/food for hut, ski touring kit, avalanche rescue kit, glacier travel kit.

How to Get There:
Carpool Departure Time:   06:00 AM
Carpool Location:   To be confirmed

Notes:
If you are interested please send me an email 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.” NB: preference will be given to people we have done previous outings with. *Please note: 10$ of the trip fee is going to support trip leader training within the club. Why? Because we have lots of demand for trips and need more good trip leaders to fill the demand. We hope you will support this initiative.

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.

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.
