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.
Basic outline:
Use a WB Pass to ascend the Whistler lifts and depart out the back door towards the Spearhead range. The intended trip is an ambitious pace over the Musical Bumps and a goal lap down the Banana Chute (or another glory line off Fissile). Group dynamics, snow conditions, and weather may dictate otherwise. I will not process any waitlist requests until at least 1 Mar 2021, pending guidance of the Provincial Health Officer.
Mandatory equip:
A pass of some sort to access WhistlerBlackcomb lifts
A reservation made at epicpass.com for March 14, 2021.
If you roll up intending to purchase a $65 Backcountry Access pass; you're still welcome but please understand that you may introduce delays.
Meetup and logistics:
07:45 meeting outside the front door of Lift Coffee Company (please click the link). Once everyone is here, we will wander to either G1 or Fitz and wait for first lift; hopefully by appx 8:00. Carpooling is, for all intents and purposes, not permitted as per BCMC COVID-19 Guidelines.
