Golden Alpine Holidays Sentry Lodge – March 3-10  2023 (12 participants) $1860 deposit $740: Sentry is the one that everybody wants. This lodge is already booked solid until the end of the 2026 season. Fortunately, the Rocky Mountain Section snagged this prime March week by booking it three years ago. 12 lucky members will get to ski the superb terrain, and then enjoy the sauna, hot & cold running water, A/C power and the luxury accommodations that this lodge provides. Situated at 2100m in the Esplanade Range, Sentry Lodge has it all – peaks, alpine terrain, glades = everything we need for a great ski week. This is the newest and most luxurious of the 4 Golden Alpine Holidays lodges. The camp runs Saturday to Saturday and will be staging out of a site just north of Golden, which means that you don’t have to drive very far. Contact camp manager Jackie Clark at clarkjl@shaw.ca for more details.

All RMS ski camps are self catered and self guided. AST2 or equivalent experience is required. We will continue our RMS practices which include an avi scenario upon arrival at the lodge. As well each participant is expected to perform personal snow assessments each day and actively participate in daily group risk assessment discussions. Copies of our daily assessment worksheets are available on the camps page of the section website and from the individual camp managers. They are a modified version of the ACMG morning guides worksheet, adapted for the RMS by the CAA.

Covid has added requirements for participants, including proof that you are fully COVID vaccinated and completion of a “Declaration of Health”. Other COVID requirements, such as negative rapid tests, may be required. As Federal and Provincial health regulations continue to change, we will need to be flexible to accommodate them.

If a trip gets cancelled or delayed after participants have paid, the financial impact varies depending on the lodge, but basically you should expect that any funds you have paid are likely non-refundable. If you have to cancel a trip after paying, the camp managers will make every possible attempt to find a qualified replacement who will refund your payment. Please consider seeking cancellation insurance.
