Itinerary:
This is a four day AST-2 course taught by Teresa Yau (ACMG Ski Guide, Apprentice Alpine Guide). The classroom day will be held at the ACC Canmore Hostel, with three field days in locations in Kananaskis, Banff/Yoho/Kootenay NPs depending on conditions. The fee includes all four days, insurance, course materials and 3 nights stay at the ACC Canmore Hostel. Participants can opt out of the hostel (let the coordinator know) - hostel fees are $150. Participants must have taken AST1, be fit & comfortable enough on backcountry skis or a splitboard to do 600m+ days in intermediate and advanced terrain. The cost will be 4 people: $740 course + $150 hostel = $890 6 people: $505 course + $150 hostel = $655 Fees will be due once there is sufficient registration to run the course. BITS Co-Leader and trip leader subsidies can be used towards this course. Any questions, please contact the coordinator at kgsneds@mac.com
