| Itinerary: |
|
Purple bowl is behind the Larch area at Lake Louise ski area. We ski up the ski out to Temple Lodge then head into the backcountry from there. Purple bowl is a beautiful open area with opportunities for moderate skiing. We exit by the same route - it's downhill all the way to the parking lot. See Chic Scott's book Ski Trails in the Canadian Rockies.

Cancellation/Partial Attendance:
Please review our participant responsibility guidelines!
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.
