Note: If you are interested in this trip place yourself on the wait list and send you ski resume to Kyle (Kylegpotts@gmail.com). Do not worry about the number of people on the wait list! Acceptance of persons on the trip will be at the discretion of the coordinator and not first-come, first-served. If you are accepted, you will be required to submit payment prior to being moved to the registered list.
The Yoho valley offers deep snow, great terrain, peaks to bag, and solitude away from the crowds! Plus, you get to return to an absolutely stunning hut each night! The only catch… It’s a 23km and 675m ski from the highway carrying a heavy pack.
Day one we will ski to the Stanley Mitchell hut. This will take 8-10+ hours depending on snow conditions and the groups fitness. The next three days will be spent climbing some peaks and getting in some great skiing! Some potential objectives include (The President, The Vise President, Mount McArthur, Isolated Peak,Kiwetinok peak, and Mount Kerr). Plus, some options for fantastic hut-side skiing! The final day will have the option for some early morning laps before making the slog back down to the vehicles.
Objectives and groups will be determined at the hut.

*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.
