Help Save the Phelix Creek Area The future of backcountry skiing in the Phelix Creek drainage - the area surrounding the Brian Waddington Memorial Hut - is at stake. Currently Kevin Kriese, on behalf of the government, has re-opened the Winter Backcounty Forum's recommendations for land use in the Lil'wat Nation region (including the area around Phelix Creek) and assigned a mediator to make the decision. We need letters of support now in order to prevent snowmobile use of this traditionally skier-oriented area. See the wiki page for more details.
