We'll pick a destination closer to Friday when we have a better idea about snow conditions and weather. We may go out to the Lake Louise or 93N areas to a sheltered location to ski or possibly a traverse depending on conditions. Potential destinations are Crystal Ridge, Dolomite Circuit, or Hidden Bowl.
You should be capable of skiing black diamond terrain comfortably, and doing 1000m to 1500m vertical at a moderate pace. If we haven’t skied together recently, please send a brief email detailing your downhill ability, fitness level, and backcountry skiing experience to peruandesguide@gmail.com and acmbattistel@gmail.com. You won't be added to the trip without sending this.

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.
