Itinerary:

This is a beginner oriented trip for alpine ski touring and/or split boarding based out of Hilda Creek Wilderness Hostel.  We plan to carpool where possible, travelling on Friday evening -expect a short tour (200m) into the hut in the dark (or two or three such trips, depending how many comforts you chose to bring).  

We will be on snow Saturday and Sunday, likely in various areas adjacent to the hostel (e.g. Parker Ridge, Hilda Ridge, Boundary Lake, etc) but other nearby driving options along 93N could be considered pending conditions and appetite.  AST1 is a recommended pre-requisite, but no backcountry experience is required to attend.  

Refer to ‘Summits & Icefields 1: Alpine Ski Tours in the Canadian Rockies’ by Chic Scott for additional details about these terrain options and others. 

Hut details are at https://hihostels.ca/en/destinations/alberta/hi-hilda-creek

This trip will accommodate 4-6 participants in shared sleeping, cooking, and lounging areas.  There is no running water, electricity, or cell service at the hostel. 

Participants will be selected at the discretion of the trip leader. 

Hut fees are $106 per person at maximum occupancy (6 participants).
Required Items to Bring:

Hardware: Avalanche safety equipment (beacon, shovel, probe) *note this equipment is available to borrow through club with advance notice to trip leader.

Software: Attitude that includes sportsmanship, inclusivity, and environmental stewardship.
