Sea to Sky Winter Backcountry Recreation Forum Scenario - Successful 
Vancouver
2010 Olympic Bid

The Callaghan main line will be plowed to Alexander Falls, providing 
easier access to the  valley. It is anticipated the mainline will be plowed to Alexander 
Falls by approximately 2005.
Mount Sproatt, Rainbow Mountain and Callaghan Valley - including Conflict Lake, Cowpow Ridge, Telemagique, and Madeley Lake - will be designated a  non-motorized public recreation zone, except for a snowmobile corridor through the Callaghan Valley. 

Motorized public recreation will be confined to that corridor and to the Woods Lake  loop. The corridor will follow the current Round-the-World snowmobile trail from Alexander  Falls to the Pemberton Icecap and Powder Mountain. Given that the Callaghan main line will be  plowed to Alexander Falls, a footbridge will be built across the Callaghan Creek at  approximately the seven kilometre mark on the Callaghan main line to allow snowmobile traffic  to access the network of logging roads on the west side of the Callaghan Valley and to link  up with the Round-the- World trail through the Brandywine Valley. The footbridge will permit  snowmobilers to complete the Round-the-World trail from the staging area to be  established at Alexander Falls.

The following facilities or services will be required in the Callaghan  Valley:

� Parking facilities at Alexander Falls that provides separation of  motorized and non-motorized visitors. A smaller parking lot will be maintained just  off the highway to permit non-motorized access to Mt. Sproatt via the logging  road that branches off the Callaghan main line less than � km off Highway 99.

� Day lodge at or near Alexander Falls.

� Snowmobile facilities/services at Alexander Falls: Staging area, 
rental services, sled school, repair and maintenance facilities, storage facilities,  grooming services, trail improvements on the west side of Callaghan Valley to  link the Round-the-World trail and to accommodate the increased traffic to  Brandywine once the footbridge is in place, and management of terrain traps such  as the Gauntlet in the Brandywine Valley and 104t Street above Callaghan Lake.
