Breaking News for Cariboo Jack

1. Unless you already have your own shuttle organized (e.g. parties arriving in two vehicles), please meet by the Lightning Inn in Stanley on Saturday morning at 8:15 so we can organize rides to Barkerville. This way enough people can leave their vehicles in Stanley where the ski trek ends. We will have a couple of volunteer vehicles from Wells on hand to help with this.

2. Registration at Barkerville will start at 9 a.m. Our scheduled ski departure time from Barkerville is 9:30 a.m., not 10 a.m. as reported in the newspaper.

3. If you are late arriving in Barkerville, please sign the waiver and check in at the shelter at Summit Rock; registration fee is $10. (If you're really late, you'll meet Fran and Jo coming down from Summit Rock on snowshoes!)

4. Please be sure to call Bill Horne (250-994-2332) or email him (bhorne at netbistro dot com) if you haven't already done so. It helps us a lot to have an accurate head count before Saturday morning ;-)

5. Skate skis will not work for this trip! Please bring gear you can comfortably ski on for 4-6 hours.

6. You can check area weather forecasts at http://www.theweathernetwork.com/weather/CABC0316
