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.
I live in Squamish so we'll meet at the Sorca parking lot at the bottom of the Pseudo Tsuga trail.
I can take two people up to the Diamond Head Parking lot. We'll need someone else who also has chains to take the others, otherwise you could leave earlier and walk up from the chain up area, it's a 2km walk uphill in snow.
We'll go at a pace that the whole group can sustain but please only join if you have been keeping fit.
Please make sure your gear works and your skins stay on.
I've been ski touring the Sea to Sky area for over 20 years, hopefully I can spread some of my experience. We'll work informally on some skills like trail breaking and kick turns or anything else you'd like to discuss.
