| Itinerary: |
So we leave Edmonton at 8:00 am to go to Canmore. We spend the rest of the day hiking/snowshoeing depending on snow conditions. We have supper at the Canmore Hostel, or we eat at a restaurant. On Sunday again we eat out or eat in the hostel then spend the day at a Alberta Parks free avalanche training session. Then we come back to Edmonton. I reserved a bed ($30.00) at the Canmore HI Hostel I recommend you do the same as it's very nice. You will need a bag lunch and beverages for the course as it is 4 to 5 hours long on Sunday.

Required Items to Bring:
Everything you need to spend the day outside during daylight hours IN THE WINTER plus a headlight or a flashlight. Without appropriate outdoor gear you will not be allowed to come with us & that is for safety reasons. Snow shoes & microspikes are a must (I have extras so if you need them please book them with me soon). A daypack with 1000 calories (I.e..:granola bars/ chocolate)minimum 1 liter of water. Some matches extra mitts/gloves, extra top (like an extra sweater).Appropriate boots, hat(s), gloves/mitts | | Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
A cell phone, and a GPS would be great just in case of emergency | |

| Carpool Cost: | |
The event coordinator(s) will help you to arrange a centralized carpool if you require it, but it's not guaranteed. Please DO NOT pay your driver en route. Passengers will pay the coordinator, and he/she will distribute the money to the carpool drivers. SO PLEASE BRING CASH!!! Approximate vehicle expense for this event is $232.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Friday, April 25, 2025). This is based on $0.09/Km for maintenance, plus current gas price divided by 9. This cost will be multiplied by the number of carpooled cars, and divided by the number of carpool participants.

| Notes: |
This trip is mostly about the Alberta Parks free avalanche training but I figure that if I'm going to go all the way to Canmore I might as well do some stuff outside & since I'm going to Canmore I might as well look for like minded people to travel with & do outdoor stuff. We could agree to eat Saturday night and Sunday breakfast at the hostel as long as we keep it simple & healthy. I have not chosen a hiking trail yet & will look into it soon. It will not be very difficult & I picture it being 3 to 5 hours long.
