We want to meet up to chat about our winter plans! Skiing touring, ski mountaineering, ice climbing, mixed climbing, other things? Please come and share some ideas with us as we brainstorm about how we want to put together some courses and trips for a fantastic winter season.
Event will start with a presentation on snow science from ACMG Guide Brent Peters. He will discuss snow crystal structure and metamorphosis in order to improve our understanding of the forces at work strengthening and weakening the snowpack throughout the winter.

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.
