We are stoked to announce a partnership with Rock Jungle Fitness for members of the Edmonton Section of the Alpine Club of Canada to climb for free on Wednesday nights from 20:30 – 23:00 at their west end location.
Trip Planning Meeting! Nov 22 – 630-10pm – Boston Pizza @ Calgary Trail. Bring your guidebooks, maps, calendars, and ideas for trips and camps!
Are you looking to connect with like-minded peers and get out ice climbing, skiing, or snowshoeing this winter? Do you want to get more involved with the ACC, but don’t know where to start? Join us on November 21 for the Volunteer and Winter Trip Coordinator Orientation session.
Registration is open for WOI with payment to be accepted soon. This course/skills weekend is meant for people who have never swung an ice axe or kicked a crampon into ice but would like to try. All beginners are encouraged to come try out ice climbing!
“Winter on Ice Plus” (WOI+) is a new mentorship program designed for ice climbers who have had some beginner training and want to make the transition to more challenging ice and mixed climbing routes. Most importantly, this program is intended for those that are keen to be on the “sharp end” of both climbing routes and coordinating trips with the ACC.
The Alpine Club of Canada – Edmonton Section is made up of mountain-minded individuals, who come together to share their unique strengths, knowledge and experience. It would not be the vibrant and resilient organization of 100+ years without the resourcefulness of members who also volunteer their time and energy.
“Winter In the Mountains Plus” (WIM+) is a new mentorship program designed for backcountry skiers and split boarders that are ready for more challenging backcountry objectives involving deep powder, ski mountaineering, or steep ski lines, and that are keen to coordinate trips with the ACC.
Launching this fall is MTN – the Edmonton Section’s very own publication on mountain culture in the Edmonton region. A small, dedicated team is working hard to prepare this fall’s edition of the magazine, and they need your articles!
At our September monthly meeting, the board gave updates on their past year’s work for the club. Those who attended also had an opportunity to ask questions and provide feedback on each board member’s portfolio. If you’d like to view the presentation yourself, you can do so here!
If you are passionate about creating a community out of our club by engaging current members more and attracting new mountain-friendly individuals and families we need you on the Section Executive Team!
