| Itinerary: |
|
Depending on conditions we'll sort out exactly where on Saturday morning at the carpool. If we have fair skies and relatively stable conditions, perhaps Cirque Peak, however flexibility on destination will be key.
We should all be quite comfortable with our skiing skills - i.e., no switchback turns(!). Relatively stronger skiers will be given preference as this could be a longer day.
Participants must have previous avalanche training (IRAC or AST1) and/or experience and comfortable with companion rescue.

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.
