| Itinerary: |
|
This will be a small group (4 including trip leader). The plan is to ski 18km one way from Canmore - Goat Creek Trailhead to Banff (behind Banff Springs Hotel) one way and then shuttle back to Canmore. Depending on where folks are coming from, there may be a pre-shuttle to Banff. The ski itself will only take about 2.5 to 3 hours, but have blocked all day to allow for car shuttles. A firm time will be announced once the participant list is finalized.

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.
