Trip Planning Questions

1. Please confirm you are US or Canadian citizen or you hold a passport that allows free entries in both countries without the need to stop at the border and get special permission/visa. If not, please let me know and I'll send you the meeting spot across the border, as you'll need to drive and cross on your own.

2. Can you drive, how many people can you take(any car car make it to the trailhead as long as it has snow tires)?

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.

Participant Information

Albeit very little snow is in the forecast, the north facing slopes of this area might still hold good cold snow:)

At the same time, the views on a sunny day, as forecasted for Saturday, are amazing!

Ski crampons are mandatory, as all the sun facing slopes will be very icy.

Please make sure you are able to enter the US and Canada without visas and such. If not, you can meet us on the other side of the border, as you'll need to cross on your own, sorry.

Will be moving at a moderate pace. Not for slow people, sorry.

NOT a snowboarder friendly trip as it has lots of up and downs.

Please be considerate and do NOT sign up unless you are 100% committed for the trip and you are at least an intermediate skier(can do black runs in any conditions, including trees, have done at least 10 trips in the backcountry) in the Backcountry. If in doubt about your capabilities send me a message and we can talk about it.
