[jaredszakacs]

[Powder Puff]

Thanks, if your a member of the the Revy club you`ll be notified of work parties by e-mail. We will keep everyone up to date on here also and try to give you some notice.
This is the preminary drawing, some changes have been made.
The basement is 50x50, the main room 30x30 and the deck is 20x30.

im gonna miss thy old cabin!! good times

 

[raceu4it]

is it still going to be in the meadow by the old cabin or is it going up higher? and what about the meet & greet down at the main parking lot, or is that stage 2?

 

[Powder Puff]

The new site is at the same meadow but to the right as you come up the Bezanson trail. It is higher, one of the problems with the old cabin is that the basement floods when the snow melts.
The meet and greet/shop project is also moving along, so many hoops to jump through. The SRS is waiting for confirmation of the lease and it should happen within the next couple of wks. We hope to have power to the lot and some prep for the build for next season. The cabin is the Revy Club`s project and the meet and greet/shop is the Snowmobile Revelstoke Society`s.
I`ll miss the old cabin to.

Revelstoke attracts about 13,000 visitors per year, averaging 86 visitors per day during sledding season Eight per cent of these visitors use local accommodation and services. Byman said they spend $5 million a year making them a major force in the local economy.

Is that a missprint???? I would think that 80% would be a more accurate number......

I can build you one of these units to put up at the cabin but on a smaller scale, great for storage and unlimited power.

Great work on the new Cabin and all the other works you guys have done this year. Looking forward to my first ride next year in Revey.

Ground breaking news, we got the machine up top and cleared the site yesterday :d
We are now looking for volunteers, I have attatched the e-mail that Greg sent out to members. Everyone is welcome to come up and help.
The one pic. shows you where the new cabin site is.

As you may be aware, we are ramping up on the construction of the new Cabin on Boulder Mtn. As of July 10th, the excavator has been up putting in the trail and clearing the new cabin site, he should be digging for the footings on July 12th. As you are well aware the club has taken on numerous parts of this project in order to make this happen within budget. The club will be required to volunteer time and manpower.
The first project the club is responsible for is the foundation and concrete work.
This part is labour intensive and we will require a pool of volunteers numbering 8 - 10 to frame, mix and pour footings. We do not have exact times and dates but very soon we will be in need of names.
Unfortunately we will sometimes be looking for volunteers on short notice so we are trying to compile a list of names which might be available to help out with this.
This is the largest portion of our committment along with flying in of materials to the site so if you can help out, please let us know your contact information and possible available schedule.
If you can help out in any way, any day, any time please contact me asap.

Thanks so much for your consideration

Thanks for all the interest so far, and yes we are going to need rebar but have not finalized our material list yet. Now that we are going to build on bedrock it should cut down on the concrete and related supplies needed.

Thanks ...Greg

Let me know how big you are going and I'm pretty sure I can help out with some rebar, have a little extra kicking around the job that I'm dooing.

Can maybe hook up with Dusty to get it there. Anyway, let me know and will try and help out.
