Your participation is based on your own assessment of your capabilities and your own assessment of the outdoor conditions and neither the Vancouver Skiers nor the Trip Leaders can accept any legal responsibility.


The trip schedule is tentative and can be changed according to availability of Leaders and / or due to weather conditions.


Car-pooling is the preferred mode of transportation. Car owners will be compensated at the end of the trip by fellow passengers.


Your equipment should consist of AT or Telemark skis, include skins, shovel, probe and an avalanche beacon, as well as the usual 10 essentials. For some trips touring cross-country skis will suffice.


Our aim is to have a good time in safe conditions and within our capabilities.
