Itinerary: |
Ski tour to Wolverine ridge. Looking to ascend Wolverine ridge and descend from the ridge based on conditions, with the option for another lap based on the group and day. Planning for a moderate pace.
The tour starts at the Fish Creek parking lot near Lake Louise ski resort. We will ascend the ski out about 4km to above Temple Lodge before turning off to the Wolverine valley. Expect 7-8km and 800m gain to the ridge, with more depending on our choice for laps.
Based on Covid-19 procedures, we'll meet at the trailhead.

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.
