Itinerary:

This year we are hoping to formalize our Backcountry Intro To Skiing (BITS) program.  We are seeking ski touring leaders who will commit to being part of the program.  We are also looking for past participants who wish to be the helpers/tail guide.  

This year BITS leaders and helpers will receive $100 towards a Calgary section course or AMP event (hopefully - details to be worked out).  This is in addition to the $200 leader subsidy already available.  Better yet, you get to go skiing! And, you get to pass some of your hard earned knowledge on to eager participants.  Teaching others to backcountry ski can be very rewarding; it's a great way to give back.

What we need from you:

  1. A commitment to lead a group on 3 ski tours over the course of the winter 
  2. Attend the intro session and this social
  3. A commitment to teach your group the agreed upon stuff - we want all participants to more or less learn the samethings

Leader Qualifications:

  1. Currently lead ski tours with the ACC
  2. Have AST 2

Helper Qualifications:

  1. Past participant in BITS program, or
  2. Desire to lead BITS trips in the future
  3. AST 1

If you are interested, but can't attend the social, please sign up and send us a note so we know you are interested. tylerhallman@hotmail.com  We will work with you to get you involved.

We will have free beer at the BITS planning social.

THIS EVENT IS NOT FOR BITS PARTICIPANTS.  THERE WILL BE POSTINGS SHORTLY FOR THE BITS PROGRAM FOR PARTICIPANTS TO SIGN UP FOR.
How to Get There:
Event Directions:   1616 9 Street NW, Calgary AB  

Notes:
We will likely need 5 leaders and 5 helpers.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
If you cannot attend, but would like to be a part of leading BITS please send Tyler an email: tylerhallman@hotmail.com
*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.
