We will be heading up to Sunshine Meadows, and a
summit or two such as Wawa Ridge, Twin Cairns, Standish Hump, or Sunshine
Landing. The destination will depend on weather, avalanche conditions, and
participants experience. In general, this is a good season opener and suitable
for beginner skiers. Destination will be announced closer to event date.

*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.
