Gents,
The Windermere Valley Snowmobile Club has put in a ton of effort to have Catamount Glacier opened up to sleds for the upcoming season, from February 15th on. That also includes use of the Olive Hut. At this time there is an amendment out to grant us access to the area, however, even though back country skiers rarely use the area, they are complaining tirelessy to keep things as is and have the area permanently shutdown for sleds. I've been told if we direct our emails to aina.cernenoks@gov.bc.ca and there is enough support then they will pursue with opening the area. If you use Forster and would like to access Catamount, legally, please fire an email off to Aina on or before Oct.31, 2012. I have heard the government may lean towards keeping things as is because of the limited support from the sled community.

The proposed amendment is attached.

Thanks,

Please note the email may not work properly on smartphones.

Just to point out a fact. It does not include use of the Olive Hut unless you book it in advance and pay for the use of it so please take note! Don't be a douche and think you have the right to just come in and inconvience someone who has booked it!

Only been to Forrester once, but sent an quick e-mail either way. Opening up boarding terrain is always a bonus!
