This trip is open to intermediates and up - you should have some back country experience under your belt and be confident skiing tight trees
Friday night we show up at Our Lady of the Assumption school parking lot. From there we'll roll out to Golden, BC where we'll be staying at the best place in town - the Dreamcatcher Hostel.
Saturday and Sunday we're going Pow Hunting - and trust me, it'll be out there because Rogers Pass ALWAYS delivers. We'll likely be going high to find that powder, so expect some sore early season legs. Rogers Pass is the land of tight trees and scary alpine - the plan is to tour up high, lap the Pow higher and then ski down through the trees. Expect to put in 1200-1500m days.
Saturday night we'll be doing a group potluck. I'll rope a volunteer or two to help me with a main course and others will handle appies or desert.
Everyone should do the Rogers Pass Winter Restrictions quiz so that we can all pick up our season's passes on Saturday and then skip the lines Sunday - if you've got questions about that process, just let me know.

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.
