Baril Creek is both, it follows the valley bottom and climbs to the top of a ridge and over the pass into BC. Avalanche gear should be worn if you take the trail to BC as multiple people have been buried playing on a few different slopes on the BC side. The trail itself also crosses a slide path that came down last year on the BC side.
It should also be mentioned as it sounds like there are some new riders to the area that if you take the trail over to BC, when you enter into the Don Getty Park you must stay on the trail (as posted on numerous signs). Do not go to the top of the pass and play on Mt. Bolton, this area is out of bounds as it is in the park. You cannot leave the trail until you drop down on the BC side.
Thanks for the input. This topic is brought up every year. Stay on the trail when heading into BC side. Thanks SummitX
