You can hike/climb/showshoe/etc.during the day, then come back to the hostel and party it up all night.  The hostel has a full working kitchen, as well as a hot tub, and it's always a good time for everyone.

This course will instruct on the essential knowledge of traversing glacial obstacles, including crevasse rescue.  The course will take place in the Columbia Icefields (glacier area).  I would highly recommend this course if you would like to improve your mountaineering skills.  I (Adam) think I will be on it if I can find the time.

The cost of this trip is the same as an Ice-climbing trip $240 for Club members ($300 if you aren't in the club).  The lodging is also at the COE in Nordegg (which means hot tub and food!), just like an ice-climbing trip.

Difficulty: Beginner
Group Limit: TBD
Required Equipment: Camping stuff

We don't even know where it's going to be yet, or if it's going to happen!
