SNOW - Ski/Split Network
for Outstanding Winters This
event is an info night for a new program potentially launching this winter
season - SNOW (boosted from the Calgary section - thanks for the inspo!)!
The idea is to have a group of people who head out together (preferably)
monthly over a whole season of skiing/splitboarding in the Rockies (and maybe
further west). This will allow the group to learn from each other, track the
progression of conditions over a full season and form connections that
hopefully boost their network in the fantastic group of ski/splitboard partners
that make up the ACC.
A few
quick points: · - SNOW is not an intro / beginner to backcountry
program – if you or someone you know is looking for this fit, please check out
the WIM program! · - The current vision is that the SNOW program will
(hopefully) be a good way to connect tourers up to help each other progress in experience
and skills. There will be a questionnaire posted to fill out and submit to help
match suitable groups together for a similar idea of what kind of days you are
hoping to enjoy in the backcountry (ski skill level, risk tolerance, fitness,
terrain choice) · - If you have a small group of friends to tour with
and are happy to include a few new connections, there will be the option to
indicate group preferences in the comments section on the questionnaire · - A separate calendar post will arrive shortly for
actual sign-ups · - AST 1 is a minimum requirement for the program
·
If you’re unsure about the fit, but are curious,
please come out and ask the questions and share your thoughts!!
As a
fresh addition to the calendar, we expect this first year to be a work in
progress, but if you’re looking for a way to have more time out this coming
season, we want to see you there!
If the
timing of this evening doesn’t work for you, but you are still interested in
finding out more, please get in touch with one of the organizers.
