Everyone must be have paid the annual fee and have a signed Waiver on file before being added to our membership list and before joining any hike. 

The club plans a variety of hikes or snowshoeing events, some easy or moderate, some difficult, or even very difficult. Some are in Central Alberta, others in the mountains. Members must have the ability to complete any event they wish to participate in. Refer to the rating system in our Guidelines to help select an appropriate event.

All events are posted on the Events Calendar.  Please be aware that events may be added, deleted, or modified at any time. Carpooling meeting places are usually identified for out of town trips. 

Occasional extended (overnight) trips may be planned. Members are alerted to trips well in advance. Typically   everyone makes their own accommodation arrangements.
