Route options will be discussed and decided with group according to avalanche/weather conditions and group dynamics. If conditions allow, we may consider skiing some more advanced terrain on this trip.

AST1 or higher required.

Required Items to Bring:

Avalanche gear (3 antenna beacon, shovel and probe), backcountry skis, skins etc., warm clothing, lunch, water. 

A lift ticket is required as we are not skinning up the ski out.

First Aid supplies, communication devices - InReach, Radio, etc.

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.
