This year brings an exciting change to the Alpine Club North Face Leadership program. For the first time, the course has been split into two types of curriculum, each with a different focus. It will alternate years between the ACC TNF Winter Ski Mountaineering Leadership and the ACC TNF Winter Ski Touring Leadership which will be offered this coming winter in January, 2010.

If you are currently leading trips for the Alpine Club Toronto Section and would be interested in applying for the winter North face course 2010, please go to the link below for more information and an application form. Your application must be endorsed by the Toronto Section Executive and must first be sent to leadershipclimbers.org for consideration.
