Participant Information

Do you ski? Meet at the Cambie Creek cross-country ski parking lot. It is 2 km east of Allison Pass on Highway 3. We will be driving through the gate and parking at Similkameen River, snow permitting. It's about 2 km hiking to where we'll begin clearing alder off the edges of the trail. The work zone is between about 3K and 4K, where it is the worst.

I will be in Manning Park so participants should arrange carpooling themselves and also bring your own tools. The club has a tool repository at Brian Sheffield's house in North Vancouver. He's got chainsaws and brush cutters. Qualified and/or competent tool operators are encouraged to arrange with Brian to pick up the tools beforehand and return them after the trip. Brian's phone number is 778 968-6353. Don't leave it to the last minute to arrange for tools.

There is also a hand tool repository at Blair Mitten's in West Vancouver. If you call beforehand, Blair can leave the requested tools in his carport for pick up. Blair's phone number is 604 922-0470 or cell 604 818-5503.

The kind of tools needed are loppers, chainsaws, brush cutters, tools for the saw and cutters, fuel and oil. Safety equipment such as chaps, heavy work gloves, safety goggles and hearing protection are also needed.

We need competent equipment operators for the trip. If you're not competent with power tools there is work throwing the cut branches off the trail and/or manually cutting branches with loppers.

Meeting at the parking lot entrance at 9:30 AM. It is usually a two hour plus 30 minutes drive to Allison Pass from Coquitlam, driving near the speed limit.
