Hi Carson,
that's really good feedback. I agree that it's quite clear that the club needs more trip organizers and for organizers to post more trips in a year so that we have more trips on the schedu...
They have some good looking tuques and beannies. Worth checking out... in addition to the standard fare.
he looks like a legend too... hehe
Alan, I was thinking the same thing. Looks like clipping a fixed piece (bolt, ice screw, piton) wouldn't be too bad, but looks dubious for a desperate clip on t...
What do you think of it?

Yeah, challenging season for ice climbing too. Limited options...
Conditions were very good up Diamond Head on Sunday jan 12. Probably about 80cm of fresh from Fri-sat. Road up was in good shape, easy driving. Could ski from the parking lot. The conditions will be...
Hey Oudina, nice to hear from you. How are you doing? Happy New Year.
Nice job, Dean. Looks like it was a fun exploration.
The BCMC is run by volunteers. No volunteers = no club. It's that simple.
I encourage every member of the club who's been out on trips before to organize a trip themselves. Don't be fooled by m...
Man! I'd love to go. I just started a project and can't free myself
Would be great to hook-up some time. Do you go locally on weekends?
That sounds great, Scott. What do you need from the club to do this? Have you talked to Ben SP to see if he can help on this? He's now the Rec & Con Chair...
Let's do it! It's a good strategy.
Mount Kelly would be an easy objective with a chariot if you ski down the way you go up -- along the abandoned road to more or less just below tree line. There are better lines down, but might be chal...
Skied mt Kelly on sat January 4. Many snowshoers up there that day, but not many skiers. Thin at the road, but enough coverage to ski up. Not bad skiing near the very top with fresh powder over a supp...
Many of you already know, but this year's snowpack on the coast isn't your normal snowpack. Heads-up as we get more snow (like today)... Here's a good article with more info:

Skied Thar on Jan 1 with a few friends. Pretty good day, but again with relatively strong W-SW wind & gusts. Snow was quite variable, highly dependent on aspect. East ridge was pretty good skiing most...
Haven't skied there myself but drove to the Rambles to ice climb on Dec 21 (20-30 min past Duffy Lake) and there was basically no snow there. I recently got a message from member John Duffy about Stee...
Really cool (although a bit long) video of paragliding from Plan-Praz in Chamonix (a little over 2,000m) up to the summit of Mont Blanc at 4,810m!!!
Pretty amazing footage along the way.

We went to Zoa Peak on Dec 29 for the intro to backcountry skiing. Overall, conditions were better than expected with light snow precipitation all day Sunday. Lots of evidence of the strong melt-freez...
Hey, that's pretty cool. It's interesting that at least one of the pictures has an obvious recent slide outside of the marked paths. I need to look more closely into what the study actually says. Very...
I hadn't seen a Whillans harness and Joe Brown helmet in a while... good interlude! Thanks.
Terrible day! Pouring rain at the parking lot, the road and parking lot were a sheet of wet ice (could barely stand up), and the other truck for the trip went into the ditch on the way up (no chains)....
Went up Zoa today. Skiing was pretty good despite the generally low snowpack on the coast. Skied right from the car without rocks or too much vegetation in the way. Snowpack is around 1m at the top. T...
for he few days you use transit... Check out TransitLive app. You can select the bus route you want and see a map of where all the stops are on that route and where each bus is on the route (updates u...
Hey Quentin, I have a trip dec 21-22 that's already had a few cancellations. Feel free to join. There's a good chance that a spot will open-up.
Thanks for posting this, Ben. You may also want to post something on the "Conservation and Parks issues" section of the website. This development proposal has been in the works for a long time and may...
The trip forum is a useful tool to help a trip organizer plan the trip with the people registered on the trip. It can be used instead of emails for participants to communicate with the group to organi...
