HOSTEL:

We've booked out the Mosquito Creek Hostel for a more luxurious ice review this year. This means bunk beds, hot water, fire pit, indoor fire place, large living room, kitchen & common areas for our evening meals and plenty of space to dry out kit.

HOW TO SIGN UP: 

  1. Participants sign up for the hostel weekend and for individual trips which will, hopefully, be posted by the end of November, the leaders will check out your experience and let you know  if you are accepted onto the trip.
  2. Participants accepted onto an individual trip need to pay using the Paypal button below weekend (hostel/food costs).
  3. Everyone attending Ice Review will need to be signed up for at least 1 separate climbing event; as well as the overall Ice Review (this trip posting, to confirm their bed & dinner)

Note that Ice Review payments will be non-refundable, but if a person has to cancel and they are able to find a replacement suitable to the trip leader, they can sell/give over their spot.

COST:

The price for the hostel beds and food/drink on the Saturday night is $125, leaders are subsidised and the cost is $80.   Once all monies are in and food/drink costs calculated we will issue a refund if there is money left over. 


QUESTIONS:

If you have any questions please contact Clare (clareormerod@hotmail.co.uk) and Chelsea (cldarrach@outlook.com) and we will get back to you.

- Dinner + drink for Friday night, enough food for 2/3 days of climbing, plenty of spare clothing, headlamp.

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.

Trip Feedback
If you have any feedback, positive or negative, concerning this trip or any other, we want to hear from you! You can send any feedback you may have to the Section Chair.
