Hmmm... this is quite the response. We're thinking of breaking into 4 groups of 4. Each group of 4 must be comfortable travelling and navigating on their own. The route can also be done clockwise or counter clockwise.

Details:

Pre-trip meeting

April 2nd, 2007 @ 6 pm in the clubroom.

Group Gear


  • One rope between 4 people.
  • First Aid Kit (list items here)
  • Binding repair kit

Road Access:

Ashlu Main

Hedberg & Associates 604-815-4555 seem to be the people using this road.

According to a post on Bivouac.com, the IPP construction is keeping the Ashlu-Main road clear of snow to Km 6. We should look at the maps at see if we want to take Ashlu A700/720 up to Buck Mountain to start (steep bushwack likely), and then ski down the road from Shortcut Creek (approx 18km) or the opposite.
