Words of Wisdom Needed: Frosty Mountain in Winter?
We just skied Frosty last w/e. We went up and down the north face on snow. The hiking trail to the larches has no avalanche danger. The last bit of trail up to the east ridge is pretty much bare rock....

Garibaldi at Squamish (Brohm Ridge) Ski Resort
I previously submitted my comments. Here they are:   I believe the GAS development proposal should be consigned to the trash can with a caveat that it cannot be revived for at least 20 years. The GAS...
Brew Hut
Alexis, was that by the marked winter route up Roe Creek? Max and I have been going up from Brew Creek Main the last few years but I haven't been this year yet on account of the low snow depth on the...
Mount Kelly - Manning - conditions
Scott, I thought you'd already done Fat Dog with a sled. Anyway, it's a piece of cake with a sled for the most part.

Bike Spikes?
   they were $80 each to buy so that is now $40 per year and I would expect then to keep going on after this season.  I probably take transit about 5 days or less each year on account of snow on the...

Bike Spikes?
Thanks Peter. I've never seen that design before. Looks like a bumpy ride. At higher speed I wonder if centrifugal force causes them to dislodge. But they do look effective. They would be good for the...

Project Approval Policy
That is a rational policy. I like it and as a project funding recipient in the past it is not overly bureaucratic as to discourage applications.

Hagan Daemon Skis
Zoran, I find skiing in mountaineering boots is about the same as using three-pin bindings and leather X-C boots. It might make sense for a long traverse without any significant turning requirements o...

Executive Seeks Project Proposals from Members
I just took a hike yesterday up the Lions (Binkert) trail to check out the slope remediation on the road and continued up to the shoulder at 4500 feet. I posted a bulletin on Bivouac but in summary, t...

gift card for Broadway Camera
Hi Nancy   I assume this is a trade? I might be interested but do I need to spend $400? I was thinking of getting a newer camera to replace my $99 one. I was thinking I might spend $200 to $300.

Executive Seeks Project Proposals from Members
Just wondering what's up with this topic? Has the executive received any project proposals? I just sent Francis a proposal for the club to adopt and fund the Pokosha trail to Sigurd Lake.

Is the BCMC getting into the guiding business?
I agree with what Alena said. The $125 ensures commitment. It's very concerning that people are cherry-picking trips, signing up for more than one then canceling at the last minute. Sad turn of events...

Windows XP, IE version 8.0.   Okay, if it's just another version problem, don't worry about it. I will get a new computer and operating system soon.

"Eyeballs" feature
I noticed on the GPS trip routes that when a GPS route is displayed there is an "eyeball" icon at the bottom right of the page with a counter next to it. I am assuming that indicates the number of pag...

IPP on North Creek
Does the club have an opinion on the project?
Mt. Garbaldi - NE Face in good shape - May 4th
FWIW, the north spur is Brohm River FSR and the south is Cheekye FSR (forest service road).
Howe Sound Crest Trail - Mt. Strachan
FWIW. I've heard the gully you went up referred to as Christmas Gully. There was some discussion about it a few years back on ClubTread and I recall a North Shore Rescue member granting it "official"...
Atwell Peak Attempt -March 23-24, 2013
Dean, why do you say "attempt"? It looked like there was a summit shot in the small photo collage at the end.   And was that the photogenic Spring (CT) on skis?
