| Notes: |
|
Good skis: - touring with 62 mm or wider skis, with grip wax, kicker skins or textured base - old school telemark skis with grip wax base - new Skimo skis with gliding feature
Poor skis - I have set metal edged, textured base BUT ONLY 55 mm tip width labelled as backcountry. They are not suitable. - AT skis where you are on skins on flats as you will be walking all day.
Hazards - snowboarders, fast inbound skiers - whiteout - falling - cold - winds

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.
