This is a Field day for individuals who have attended bother Evenings of the Almost and AST with Doug Latimer on December 26 and 27. The goal of the day is an introduction to the use of transceivers, probes and shovels The training is not to replace a formal AST course. As per the Alpine club of Canada... "The course must be delivered in ATES 0 or 1 terrain. If the region has not been assessed, then only locations with no exposure to avalanche terrain is acceptable. In addition to the potential avalanche hazard, participants should not be exposed to other potential threats. This includes but is not limited to rock fall, glacier travel, cliffs, open water, severe weather."

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.
