Alpine touring in Waterton National Park is an
obscure place considering we have Rogers Pass,
Icefields Parkway and Golden all in our back
yard. There are great lines, trees and
ridges and if mother nature agrees, snow to be
had. Shame, the area does get hit hard with cold
weather and winds. So, plan to come with a big
sense of adventure. Popular lines include Forum,
Ridge, Rowe Bowl and SW peak of Carthew
If you can't make the scheduled New Years Eve
trip to Cameron Lake Cabin, here is your
opportunity.
The entire Cabin has been reserved for
our group, total 8.
Departing January 9, we will travel to
Waterton, arrange ourselves and ski in ~15km
along the Akimamina Parkway. Yes, a long
approach. Ski, eat, bevies, repeat. Return home
end of January 12.
We will plan for "cooking buddies" to prepare
group dinners. Breakfast, lunches and bevies up
to your own planning. Albeit a long approach to
the Cabin, perhaps consider a pulk, drag
a dry bag or other approach which eases the load
on your shoulders and ensures great culinary
pantry. No freeze dried meals here!
Please come with a big sense of adventure!
The cost per person is $120 including wilderness
passes.
Please wait until after the Trip Leader has
responded to you with regards to your eligibility
and then to pay for the trip.
Payment can be made via PayPal on the button below.
Once you send me a copy of the PayPal receipt, I will move you from the
waiting to the attendee list.
Required Items to Bring:
All your AT gear. Beacon, shovel, probe
and experience / practice using them. Sleeping
bag, food for four days, and pack that fits all
your gear. All conditions clothing.
Recommended Items to Bring:
Whatever makes you comfortable and smiling for a
few days in the mountains.
Notes:
This is not a fast paced trip, rather moderate,
enjoy ourselves and if you prefer racing to the
mountain top and endless laps, perhaps this isn't
the trip for you. Steady and safe!
Happy to accommodate cancellations if you can find
a suitable replacement. Once moved to the
participant list you are confirmed.
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.
