The plan is to leave Calgary at 6PM on the evening of Friday May 6th and spend the night at the Rampart Creek Hostel. Saturday we'll leave the hostel early (6AM) as we'll have a long ski up to the Columbia Icefield via the Athabasca Glacier to set camp up next to the trench. Note this is a long ski with heavy packs. As such trip members should be in good shape with at least a few challenging trips this season.
Sunday, if weather conditions permit, we attempt Columbia with a typical alpine start.
We can decide over the course of the trip on what to do on the Monday.
Tuesday, we exit via the Athabasca Glacier, with the expectation of being back in Calgary sometime in the evening.
All trip members will need to have current AST1 or equivalent, and also current crevasse rescue training.
Finally, as with any trip of this sort, we may need to change plans based on avi conditions and/or weather.

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.
