You must login in order to sign up online for one of the BCMC Trips. If you don't have a BCMC membership account then please obtain one. If you'd prefer to learn more before joining then please join as a 30-day Guest member. Some trips are BCMC members only.
Ski up to Artist Point. After that it will depend on the skill/energy level of participants, and the conditions.
Experience: Minimal skiing experience required. If everyone is more advanced, we will ski some harder stuff though.
Weather: Due to the terrain we're on, and the short distance we're travelling. I'm willing to go out in pretty much any weather, though if it's bad enough it might be a short day. If you want to bail though, I understand.
Please make sure any rental gear works beforehand. MEC has had some QA issues in the past.
This is a joint BCMC/ACC trip, so while the Maximum Participants is actually 12, I'm adjusting the value to reflect the signups from the other club.
Required Items to Bring:
Passport, skis, skins, poles, beacon, probe, shovel, gloves/mitts, rain jacket, warm jacket, lunch/lunch money
Recommended Items to Bring:
Goggles or glasses of some form, helmet
