Re: [Outdoors] Easter??? Backpacking anyone?
I would be. Is it going to be open? Earlier in the winter they weren't sure if they were going to be able to replace all the bridges and cable cars that got destroyed in last years storms by this season. Also is anything happening with that Juan de Fuca trail suggestion put out a month ago? Ian.

RE: [Outdoors] Easter??? Backpacking anyone?
That sounds great Ewan.
I talked to the warden from Waterton and the only possible route
involves ascending a pass with a 40 degree slope that has a 3-4 meter
ice pack. Pushing it a little.
What are the inclines of the passes. If there is a significant amount
of snow they should be done early in the day with crampons, otherwise
snowshoes should be fine.
This will be the last email i sent out to the list - so as to stop
clogging people boxes (sorry) - so if you're interested contact one of
us directly.
