Came across this cool bit of video on Facebook
It is a short piece on how using a makeshift avy bomb. Always look before you leap.
Dan, you will need snow shoes. You might be able to make it there without them. In Feb there are meters of snow and a well trodden track to the cabin. I have not been to Elfin in a long while. I would...
An avalanche in Stevens Pass about this time in 2012 created a bit of a stir because of the high level of experience and the inferred expertise of the people involved. Of course it was a mixed group.
The study was done about ten years ago now. I believe that the observations and remarks made in the study were very good. Two differences today are, the increase in the number of females participating...
Good to hear about and see success Chris. Hope everyone is up for "a new experience" hahahahahahahahahaha I am looking forward to spending at least one weekend up there this season.

What I find interesting about this topic, is the stat of 56% of the incidents in this category were directly related to the absence of a knot. Why are so many people making the same mistake? There is...

Whistler is opening tomorrow, the north shore mountains are getting dumped on. I just got turned on to a Patagonia video shot in the Tantalus Range I bet if you look up while driving the Squamish Hyw...
I look forward to the Cabin Completion Presentation and accompanying photo collage. I see that Marlaina has a trip scheduled for New Years Eve. I think it's going to fill fast and be the place to...
Fat skis have not been considered "good" skis for touring. You are entering a topic that will generated a wide range of opinion. There are plenty of advantages of skiing in the backcountry with a ski...
I have not been up to Garibaldi for a long time. but usually the berschrund has opened up by Sept and routes around it have been tried. Bivouc is a good source for information.
Dean, Paul,
This type of run is at the other end of the spectrum, the Glen Coe Skyline I am always amazed at what people will pay for. Dean, you may be correct about the lack of interest at this time...
Good morning Dean, I must offer a bit of an apology. I am not doing a very good job at presenting my intentions.
I am not a runner, I would rather ski. I do enjoy the sport of running, but mainly as...
I am now on the bus, on my way to work.
One trip topic that has sparked my interest, but I have not seen it go anywhere has been put forward by iegress. I hope I get this right. I think that what was...
Stas, you just need to accept the fact that voting is available to all, at a meeting. The vote to build the cabin was done correctly. That is it. If you were not at the meeting, you can not vote. This...
Here is a local event, what I have in mind is not so grand, http://aroundthelake.ca/
Thank you forum administrator.
Stas, gas money, really? For a chain saw? For what? I have no idea what you are talking about. Stas, buddy I do not understand you. OK you have some beefs, well it appea...
Your comments are objectionable. Put up or shut up. Run for office. I will vote for you. When people or persons treat you in a similar manner I will defend you.
whoooooa!
I have been involved with this dumb ass cabin subject for quite a while. I am confident that this was not the first time that a cabin committee was formed for the Watersprite Cabin. I unders...
Sorry Paul, I was on my lunch and had to sign out quickly. I should qualify "doable" as can be done at a walking pace, say a fast & light pace. I like the idea of running clinics etc but that is not w...
Ahhhhh......no, too much work, for me. I have a plan of what I want to offer as a route/event/trip. As for structure, generally in a broad sense following Barkley and FatAss. With a the membership num...
Awesome times Dean. I am familiar with both trails, and have done a "fast and light" to Castle Towers. Not even close to your time. You may be right about a lack of active runners at this time. The sp...
Hello fellow members, I am interested in putting on some running trips. I need some help, the logistics are a bit much for me. I have a plan and need a few helpers to get it done. You can express your...
