PRiSM

Ski mountaineering with the Calgary Section

Story and photos by Brendan Clark for the 2025 ACC Gazette

In early 2024, Simon Trudel and I developed what we call the Peaks and Ridges Ski Mountaineering (PRiSM) series of outings. Our goal? To take ski mountaineering with the section to some great heights. Our PRiSM trips focus on sharing adventures and summits (and occasional suffering) with the passionate skiers and split-boarders in the section.
