Itinerary: |
This will be a two (Feb 17-18) or three (Feb 17-19) day course. When signing up, please indicate in the comments whether you'd prefer a 2 or 3 day course.
The days will be a refresher of backcountry ski, leadership & safety skills, though not intended to cover technical rope work. Crevasse rescue can be covered if it is of interest for course participants. The course is aimed at those with at least some experience in the backcountry, but participants do not need to be current section leaders. Cost will be $125 per day ($250 for 2 days, $375 for three days) based on a minimum of 5 people. With fewer than 5 people, the cost will be higher based on splitting the cost between the participants.
The course will be based out of K-Country and Banff/Yoho NPs, with choice of location TBD/guide's choice. Participants are responsible for transport & any accommodation.

If participants have to withdrawal after payment, they are responsible for finding a replacement acceptable to the coordinators. A wait list will be maintained if there are more people interested than spots available. If the course has to be cancelled due to insufficient interest, any payments will be refunded.
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.
