February newsletter
is hot off the presses! New TRs from the
Wapta in Canada and the
SAC ski outing
led by Corrina!
SAC
Mountaineering Class: The 2012 class is still in the planning
stages. The plan is to teach a snow and ice mountaineering course only
that lasts for five weeks, and concentrate on club outings to increase the
clubs knowledge and experience in the alpine. A rock class is still in the
planning stages but will probably not be offered this year.
Outings:
Mark your calendars! The
annual SAC Baker ski weekend is planned for February 24-26 this year. The
arrangements will be similar to last year-- two cabins in Glacier Springs.
The smaller cabin is the same as last year, but we have upgraded the larger
cabin to a newer, swankier model right next door. Cost is $30 per person.
Space is on a first come, first served basis. See details below and
instructions for reserving space below that.
Dates:
Check in Friday, February 24th; check out Sunday, February 26th
Large cabin (40GS) Location-- Immediately next
door to last year's large cabin. Description-- 3 bed, 3 bath,
3 story house of awesomeness. Sleeps 11. This cabin is newer, slightly
larger and much, much more awesomer than last year's. Hot tub, game room w/
pool table. Pet friendly.
Smaller
cabin (39GS):Location-- Same as last year.

All this for the low, low

unlimited snow fun with awesome folks and luxurious accommodations for just
$30!
To
reserve your space:
1) RSVP Jonathan at
jfrostad@gmail.com
or
360-630-0015 to let him know you are planning to...
2) Send your $30 per person payment to the SAC PO box or, better yet, pay in
person at the December Xmas party!
Don't delay -- space in
these sweet cabins will get snatched up faster than fresh turns on Chair 8
(or fresh slices at Chair 9)!
Members have
noted the need for more club outings to increase the experience and
knowledge of the class leaders. If you have an idea for a trip, no matter
what the objective, and you have a prospective leader in mind, do not
hesitate to contact that individual. You might be called upon to do the
planning and logistics coordination, but leading the outing can be
designated to the appropriate individual. For those leaders in the club,
please volunteer to lead at least a couple of trips per years with the club
with the aim to facilitate the learning for prospective class leaders.

Sonya
Bailey is offering a trip to practice avalanche skills and

Trail
Maintenance!
Little Mountain trail work is on hold. The park is planning on making some
trail steeper sections more manageable and hardened. The Mount Vernon Trail
Builders (second and fourth weekend trail work at the gate) will be taking
over Little Mountain trail building. See
www.mountvernontrailbuilders.com for details.
Lookout: No new
news. If any of you get up to the
Lookout this winter, we would appreciate hearing how things are.
