Notes:
Avalanche
What are the Risks
Avalanches can occur in the terrain you will be entering and can be caused by natural forces, or by people travelling through the terrain (skiing/snowboarding)
Anyone caught in an avalanche is at risk of personal injury, death, and/or property damage or loss.
Communication and Rescue
What are the Risks
Communication can be difficult and in the event of an accident, rescue and treatment may not be available
Adverse weather may also delay the arrival of treatment and transport out of the field
If an Injury occurs in challenging terrain movement to an evacuation point may be slow
Terrain

Crevasses

Snowcat roads and road ranks
Fences and other man-made structures

General Hazards
What are the Risks
Slips trips and falls indoor or outdoor
Equipment failure.
Infectious disease contracted through viruses, bacteria, parasites, and fungi which may be transmitted through direct or indirect contact.
Negligence of other persons, including other guests.
Negligent first aid.
Boots and Binding Systems
What are the Risks
Even when set up correctly, a ski binding might not release during every fall or may release unexpectedly. The ski boot/binding system is no guarantee that the skier will not be injured. Non-DIN-certified bindings, such as pin/tech bindings, present a higher risk of pre-release and/or injury as they are not designed to the same safety standards as a DIN-certified alpine binding.
Unlike alpine ski boot/binding systems, snowboard and some telemark boot/binding systems are not designed or intended to release and will not release under normal circumstances. Using such a system increases the risk of injury and/or death when caught in an avalanche.
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.
