Departure time to be confirmed, but will likely be first thing in the morning, so you will need to arrange for accommodation nearby the staging area (typically in Nakusp) for the evening of January 24, 2026.

How to Get There:
Event Directions:
All RMS
camps are self-catered and self-guided. All participants are required to have AST2,
are expected to perform avalanche risk assessments each day and must actively
participate in daily group risk assessment discussions. Copies of our daily
assessment worksheets are available from the individual camp managers. They are
a modified version of the ACMG morning guides worksheet, adapted for the RMS by
the CAA. Safety is our priority.
All
participants will be expected to conform to the Federal and Provincial health
regulations that are in force during the trip.
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 reasonable attempt to find a qualified
replacement who will refund your payment. Please consider seeking cancellation
insurance.
Note that this is a self-guided and self-catered trip - breakfast and lunch are on your own, group meals will be arranged for suppers
Notes:
Camp cost is C$2,500; a deposit of $1,000 will be required soon after your application is accepted.
Payment Options:
Member $2500.00 CAD
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.
