The signs went up today courtesy of BC mountain foundation.
Ok I'm actually going to do it this year. I am getting together quotes now for 4 signs (2x do not enter and 2x turn left based on RSTBC sign templates). I expect it will be a couple hundred dollars...
Anybody want free G3 Targa Ascent Ski Crampons? I have 2 pairs with no targa ascent bindings to use them with. Otherwise they are going into metal recycling.

Paul do you mean just for the separated portion or for the whole trail?
For the proposed separation, I actually already cleared a path through for downhill skiers to reach open meadows that lead to th...

Hilleberg tents with the GT extended vestibule are fantastic for use on snow, but stiflingly hot in the summer. I own a Nallo 2 GT and for winter camping with extra large vestibule dug out is amazing...
As many of you know, the Hanging Lake has become very popular. During periods of dry weather, some of the steep climbs on the trail can get really slick. I think that downhill traffic skiing over th...
For the record, I raised all the markers on the reroute, and pulled the markers off the old route on March 16th.
I think maybe you need to download the entire OSM database (or a recent BC or canada extract), and then filter out only the Hanging Lake trail with an SQL query. How are you extracting the GPX from t...
he Hanging Lake Winter Trail has been rerouted to avoid some large blowdowns. About 300m from the trailhead, the trail climbs a small hill littered with fragments of large fallen trees. From here the...
I'm looking for some old, beat up skins to cut down to make nordic skins for my son's XC skis. It doesn't matter if the edges are shredded as I'm going to recut them to ~50mm wide. Will trade for fa...
Ski shop company Evo has bought the Callaghan Country Lodge.
This could create an opening to address parking and backcountry access issues in the Callaghan Valley. I noticed that the Alexander Falls...
from a previous early summer hike many many years ago, I recall no running water along the ridge until a little ways above the emergency shelter.
Alpine start on broadway is the new local dealer for Meindl boots. They periodically ship boots to Germany for resoling by Meindl. I had this done for my hiking boots recently - the cost was $200.
Does anyone know more details about what happened?

I want to make some skins for my kids cross country skis (i.e. narrow and short). I figure that cutting down an old worn out pair of skins would be a good way to go, since I could work around any fray...
Is the plan still to move the Russet Lake cabin?
Ok I see now that the booking system itself works, it's just the availability calendar that is broken.
The hut booking system currently only shows availability on Sundays for all the huts. This strikes me as strange and I suspect it is a bug in the system or some kind of data corruption. I would like...
Hi Paul, by the same logic, watersprite lake is a day trip too. That seems to have turned out pretty well though. I will have to try it as an overnight trip with my kids this coming summer. It's st...
I like the idea of salvaging the Russet Lake Hut, but I don't think this is a great location. It seems to close to watersprite to be a hut to hut destination, but too far to get there in one day. Ge...

Want to try NTN without shelling out $900 for new boots? I bought these boots in ~2010 and skied them for 5-6 sea...
