It's not full yet - this is a
first pay first on event. If you're thinking of
coming but are worried there are some on the wait
list, just get your $85 in before they do :-)
Come join your fellow
Calgary
section members for the
2nd (possibly
annual) ski & social event to
ring
in the new year!
Objectives for the trip include much
merriment on new years eve, including music,
beverages, frivolity, and dancing, possibly
resulting in a
slower start on new years day...
In the
days leading up to new years, objectives may
include yo-yo skiing, Mts. Gordon, Olive, or
Rhonda, condition and weather dependent.
Bow hut is reserved exclusively
for us all 3 nights!! The fee for the trip is
$85 per person. Please
remember that the trip in to Bow
hut is ~8km and 400m elevation gain (a 3-5 hour
ski in) so is intended for intermediate skiers or
better (linked turns on blue runs with AST1
course, crevasse rescue course very highly
recommended).
Paid guests are welcome so long as they meet the
above requirements/skill level and they sign the
ACC waiver.
Just a quick update - we'll be looking through
sign-ups and registering starting in mid-Oct! :-)
... it'll be on a first pay first on basis, email
$ xfer preferred, cheques accepted too, details
will be sent out then.
Required Items to Bring:
Tele or AT skis, boots, poles, skins, transceiver,
probe, shovel, head lamp, first aid kit, pack,
sleeping bag, ear plugs, food for the trip,
and your own special beverages for this festive
occasion! If attempting objectives (in other
words, if you don't just want to hang out at the
hut), harness, crampons, ice axe, 2 locking
biners, 2 non-locking, 5m prussik cords(2), sling.
There's a good chance there will be strong
cold winds on the icefield, so plan to be able to
bundle up so there's no exposed skin just in
case... e.g. scarf/goggles to fully cover face).

To finalize your registration and be
moved to the attendee list, your hut fees will be
due - details to follow
Also, a
reminder that each participant is responsible for
their own national park passes, as well as your
own backcountry/wilderness passes as Bow Hut is
classified as a backcountry hut - an annual
wilderness pass is available through the ACC
national office or from most parks offices.
*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.
