This two day course focuses on risk based decision making in mountain terrain. A morning discussion assessing hazard and risk leads to using that evaluation to choose the correct terrain in the field. Quick field observations will back up our initial assessments. Students should be prepared to lead a group, practicing tracksetting and making equipment choices to reduce risk. Course cost is $375 + GST per person. Participants need to have AST2 or equivalent experience. 30 days of touring (that's one weekend a month for three seasons) in the previous 3 years could be used as a baseline.

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.
