I think it would be better to define a season as a full year, not winter or summer.  Some people may do all their trips in the summer and none in the winter, or vice versa.  Under the current proposal...
Trip Organizer Vetting?
Even if you wanted to keep the more rigorous vetting process, I think it could all be done behind the scenes after a person submits a trip to the schedule.  The climbing chair could then look up that...

Changes to Forum? Some ideas...

I agree that improving the reporting of message board threads to the home page should be a higher priority.  Since few people currently use the trip forums it makes sense to promote that feature first...

I like Ben's idea of opening up the trip planning forum to everyone to ask questions.  That doesn't mean that everyone should automatically be subscribed to the forum - only members who joined the tri...

Is the BCMC getting into the guiding business?
I do like the idea of subsidized, professional trrainning for instructors.  If some BCMC members did avalanche operations level 1 then the club could run it's own AST 1 courses. However there may be o...
