Very well put PowderDave. For a couple of short paragraphs I think you've summed it up pretty good. Terrain is number 1.
I would just reemphasize that talking and touring with experienced people is one of the best ways to learn quick.

Hey LeeLau, I think I may take you up on that. I'm actually in Germany until January, so I'll message you sometime when I'm back. I realize that Jan/Feb is probably when you'll be enjoying the powder, but if you're not inclined to go on a big trip some weekend... I'd be more than happy to head up Seymour.Quote:
Vancouver types. I'm moderately experienced. NOTE the words MODERATE. I'm willing to pass on the good karma I had from more experienced people. I'd be much much more inclined to be patient in early season then later in the year when, hopefully, there's a shitload of powder. From time to time if there's some snow locally Id be happy to take a group out to Hollyburn or Seymour or whatever. There's all sorts of people to hook up with and lots of groups going out. The ACC is not very active unfortunately. Telemarktips has a pretty active set of Vancouver types.
During winter I live in both Vancouver and Whistler. Happy to take a group out to someplace nice and safe in whistler bc to get their feet wet too. I'm self-employed so can take time off as necessary.
You say there are tons of groups heading up, do you know anywhere that is good for meeting up with them? I'd love to become involved in an active group of weekend backcountry skiiers.
