This will be a two (Feb 17-18) or three (Feb 17-19) day course run via the Calgary section. When
signing up, please indicate in the comments whether you'd prefer a 2 or
3 day course.
The days will be a refresher of
backcountry ski, leadership & safety skills, though not intended to
cover technical rope work. Crevasse rescue can be covered if it is of
interest for course participants. The course is aimed at those with at
least some experience in the backcountry, but participants do not need
to be current section leaders.
Cost will be $125 per day ($250
for 2 days, $375 for three days) based on a minimum of 5 people. With
fewer than 5 people, the cost will be higher based on splitting the cost
between the participants.
The course will be based
out of K-Country and Banff/Yoho NPs, with choice of location
TBD/guide's choice. Participants are responsible for transport &
any accommodation.
Required Items to Bring:
Backcountry ski gear (ski or split)
Avalanche safety gear

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 Rocky Mountain Section of the ACC is a not for profit club and we only charge attendees what it costs us to provide courses or trips.
