Volunteers donate their time, knowledge, experience and enthusiasm when they lead Section day and weekend trips, organize Section training, serve on the Section executive or on Section committees, organize ACC summer camps, host slideshows, host our book club. Volunteers receive no payment – outside of the words of appreciation we pass on at the end of an event. If it weren’t for our volunteers, we wouldn’t have a great program of activities to offer our members.We are inviting Ottawa Section members to come out and show their appreciation to our volunteers! Say “thanks!”, “glad I joined the club”, “had a great time on our last trip”, “great group of people”. And it’ll be a great opportunity to meet and socialize with fellow ACC members!
Are you an Ottawa Section volunteer? We are inviting current Ottawa Section volunteers to be guests of the Ottawa Section.

This clinic provides an introduction to off-track Nordic ski touring in hilly, wooded terrain typical of Gatineau Park, the Laurentians and New England. We will also briefly discuss alpine backcountry skiing in mountainous terrain using Telemark or alpine-touring (AT) equipment but, otherwise, that ski discipline is not part of this clinic. There are two evening classroom sessions before Christmas (timed so participants can provide Santa with helpful hints) and two field trips in January. A fee of $25 will cover costs.
Pre-requisites: (1) physically fit, (2) a minimum of one year classic “cross-country” trail skiing, (3) will own or rent appropriate Nordic BC ski gear in time for the field trips and (4) demonstrated backcountry map and compass navigation skills. A separate navigation clinic will be offered by Darrel Newman for those attendees of this ski clinic needing to refresh their map and compass navigation skills. Limit 12 ACC members.
Contact Bill Scott at wrscott@sympatico.ca
Classroom Sessions:
- Tues Nov 21st @ 6:30pm – Nordic backcountry ski touring equipment – all you need to know to buy or rent suitable gear.
- Tues Nov 28th @ 6:30pm – soft skills including clothing, contents of a skier’s pack and backcountry skiing safety.
Field Trips:
- Sat Jan 20th – a day practicing techniques for ascending and descending moderately steep hills, plus a practice emergency scenario.
- Sun Jan 21st – all skills will be combined in a level 4 backcountry ski trip in Gatineau Park with each participant leading the group in turn under supervision. (Backup field trip dates in case of snowpack issues: 27 & 28 Jan.)
