Itinerary:
Conditions and weather look good for a ski summit!

Let's try to get up Healy Pass Peak, a small mountain just north of Healy Pass. I am hoping we will be able to ski to the top, but if the ridge is wind-blown we may have to take the skis off and hike to the top. We will keep the skiing fairly mellow - there are some short but nice runs down from Healy Pass.

Approx round trip distance is 20 km, 900-1000 m of elevation gain.

You must have AST 1 as a minimum, plus be a blue run skier, and have a fitness level and backcountry experience suitable for the objective. If we have never skied together before, please send me a brief summary of your training and experience.

We will have an early 6:30 AM meet up near the Petro Canada at Hwy 1 & Hwy 22, at the access road just off Hwy 22. Here we will sign waivers before heading off to the Sunshine parking lot.

NOTE THAT THERE WILL BE NO CARPOOLING - YOU MUST TAKE YOUR OWN VEHICLE.

Required Items to Bring:
Skis, skins, transceiver, shovel, probe

Recommended Items to Bring:
Warm clothes, food, 1.5+ L water

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.
