Where Did All Our "Regular Trips-On-Schedule Go?"
Bill, nice table of stats, and kudos on the way the course info page has been done. I like how the club and commercial offerings have been outlined.  I have a question that that is arms length related...

Chris, thanks for the comprhensive answers. PaulO outlined those capabilities and the short comings when the change over to the current software was being done. It is a pity that the potential was not...

Trail Building Supplies
Hi, the ropes are in Richmond right now. I live in New West. Which would be the easiest for you?
Trail Building Supplies
I have 2 static ropes that have been taken out of service. Once used for fall protection. Useful now, for example, as hand holds for steep sections of trail etc. Free for trail builder types.
Water sprite Hut Post-Mortem
My suggestion of using the members attending monthly meetings as a random group for polling purposes appears not to be well supported. Using the numbers generated at the vote about the cabin, and allo...
Water sprite Hut Post-Mortem
OK, so now we have a mechanism to poll each member, and we are not using it. My question now is, why not? If there is no good reason for not, then let the question be asked and the membership polled....
Water sprite Hut Post-Mortem
Francis, no argument from me about getting opinions from the membership. I disagree about it being an easy process. If it is an easy process why has it not been done. I have been led to believe that i...

This thread "Water sprite Hut Post-Mortem" if I understand the intent, is an examination of the presentation and approval of the Watersprite Hut. While there are vigorous offerings of how the letter o...

Basic Aid Climbing Course
I agree with Radmila and Winifred
Boot fitters
I recommend http://fanatykco.com in Whistler. Got them to help me with my boots last winter. They made adjustments to my liners that improved the fit of my boots. Not expensive or the boot fit. Defini...
Watersprite Lake Trip Reports and Photo Albums
I am pretty sure the photos Todd gave you were from 2008. Here are photos from April 2008. As you can see plenty of skiable snow in April. I doubt very much that there would be good touring opportunit...
Paranoid Creek Bridge Design and Construction

Overnight Hikes from Sea-to-Sky Gondola
Ride up on the Gondola, hike out via the club’s  Mtn Lake Hut, there are a few easy peaks to bag along the way
Splitting wedges and heavy timbers needed
I might be able to help with the timber. What minimum length do you need?
Info required re avi courses
Oh, I miss understood. I guess if it does not matter then AST-1 or equivalent would be asked for. If does matter then only AST-1.
Info required re avi courses
Liam, One important reason for taking the avi training is to learn how to search for and recover a person buried by an avalanche. If you cannot do that, then you are letting your fellow trip partners...

Scarpa F1 Evo Recall
Scarpa F1 Evo apparently may switch from ski to walk mode spontaneously
Info required re avi courses
Good morning, any AST-1 course would be fine. All courses cover the same material, so the snowshoe course would be OK. The presentation is really the only difference, so a course for snowmobilers woul...
Avalanche current conditions
