Trip Reports 1) Garibaldi Neve Traverse A large number of VOCers completed the Garibaldi Neve Traverse last weekend in different directions, over different time periods and with varying levels of companionship. Rumour has it that Stefan knocked it off in just over 7 hours car-car. Tons of photo links in this thread: http://www.ubc-voc.com/phorum2/read.php?f=3&i=2493&t=2493 2) Mountain Lake Meadows Piotr, Philipp and Emily visited the Mountain Lake area. You really need to read the poetic TR for yourselves! http://www.ubc-voc.com/phorum2/read.php?f=3&i=2709&t=2709 3) Solo, Self-Supported to Seymour Stephen Mullen biked to Mount Seymour with his skis, in the middle of the night, by himself. More details are available: http://www.ubc-voc.com/phorum2/read.php?f=3&i=2685&t=2685 II. Upcoming Events and Trips 1) No slide show tonight There is also no slide show next week, you might want to attend the VIMFF ski night instead. 2) Burton Hut, Feb. 23-24 A trip seems to be in the works to visit the Burton Hut in Sphinx Bay (on Garibaldi Lake) this weekend. Check out the message board for more info. http://www.ubc-voc.com/phorum2/read.php?f=3&i=2713&t=2713 3) VIMFF, Feb. 22- Mar. 1 LAST CHANCE FOR DISCOUNT The Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival will be starting soon and the VOC has obtained a reduced ticket price ($12 instead of $17 -19) for the duration of the festival (February 22nd - March 1st, 2008).

John Baldwin will be speaking on ski touring in the coastal mountains. John will be familiar to many members both as an ex-VOCer and author of "Exploring the Coast Mountains on Skis." It is hoped the new, updated version of his book will be completed and available but you never know with these things. While we're expecting a good turnout for this meeting there is always room for a few more. So, if any VOC members are interested they are welcome to attend. There is no cost for attendance. Starting next Wednesday the front page of the BCMC website (bcmc.ca) with have all the pertinent information. The actual date of the presentation is Tuesday, March 11. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTRIBUTIONS to the VOCene are welcome.
