THE BEST AST 2 COURSE EVER. WE HIRED THE BEST GUIDE (Kirsten Knechtel and Natalie Renner), MADE THE COURSE 2 WEEKENDS IN TWO AWESOME LOCATIONS AND HAVE 4 FIELD DAYS INSTEAD OF THE STANDARD 3. PRICE IS SET AT BREAKEVEN as always - YOU WON'T FIND A BETTER DEAL!
AST 2 Course. This course will take place over two weekends. The first weekend (Jan 10-12) will be out of Lake Louise and start with a Friday afternoon classroom session. Saturday and Sunday will be spent out in the field.
The next weekend will be Jan 25-26 and will be based out of Golden, with the main destination being Rogers Pass. Students are encouraged to ski tour without the guide on Friday Jan 24, with course field days being Saturday and Sunday and an evening session on Saturday night.
If you are looking to get the most out of an AST 2 course, this is the course for you.

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.
