I think I need to start calling myself a coordinator for ACC trips.
I just copied and pasted this from my last trip to Mount Fortune as it worked out well.
Main points:
1a+) Be safe
1b+) Have fun
12) Get up something and enjoy some views for a few minutes
13) Get some reasonable turns in
I will set up a Whatsapp group to discuss the trip, in advance.
Don't expect a guided trip.
Required Items to Bring:
Ski crampons, ice axe maybe necessary
Backcountry skiing kit and the experience to use it
Helmet
Recommended Items to Bring:
I bring a fully stocked first aid kit, InReach, tarp, radios. If I am feeling lethargic, you may need to help carry.
A simple repair kit
How to Get There:
Carpool Departure Time:
07:00 AM
Carpool Location:
Canmore, likely the closed visitor's centre/toilets
Weather (grey bird/polar vortex) and avalanche conditions (considerable or higher) may shift the trip by one day, one week or cancel it entirely.
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.
