This is our kick-off event for the 2022 Ski Summit Series! We would like to target a summit but of course, conditions may prohibit that, in which case we will try to find a tour. The destination will depend on weather, avalanche conditions, and participants experience . As a representative example, past outings included Little Temple, Bow Peak, Purple Pk and Lipalian Mtn, Mt Haffner, Mt Field, Panorama Ridge, Smutwood. Destination will be announced closer to event date.

Required Items to Bring:
Mandatory: Transceiver (digital 2+ antennae), snow shovel, probe, backcountry ski gear.

Recommended Items to Bring:

Food/drink, extra clothing, any required personal items, sunglasses/ski goggles and headlamp, sunscreen, camera, radio.

If we are going to a summit, an ice axe, helmet, and boot crampons might be needed. Ski crampons may be an asset and have come in handy across the season.


How to Get There:
Event Directions:   tbd - will be sent by email.  
Carpool Departure Time:   07:00 AM

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.
