Itinerary:

Attention all EOC members if you are suffering from any of the following symptoms immediate action is required: Restlessness, nail biting, eye twitching and finger tapping. These are all strong indicators of cabin fever and I have just what the doctor ordered; a weekend in the heart of the rocky mountains. We will be spending 2 days and 2 nights at the HI-Shunda Creek Hostel in Nordegg.
See website for more information.

This will be our base for the weekend, leaving each day to pursue day hikes and or snow shoeing. We will have no formal agenda but if you have an interest in a specific area, let me know and I can try to coordinate with others having the same interest. Snow shoes can be rented at Mountain Equipment Co-op or Totem Outfitters.

Saturday night will be a pot luck supper. These are always a great mixer to kick off the festivities on Saturday night.

We will be staying in a co-ed dorm cabin. Bedding will be provided and sleeping bags are NOT permitted.

- Overnight items
- Towel (for showers/hot tub)

Carpool Directions:

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 $174.00 (calculated at total Km * $0.29, effective Wednesday, April 24, 2024). 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.
