Hi Climbers and skiers, A number of you may be familiar with the Catamount and North Star Glaciers (the Olive Hut is located by Catamount Glacier) and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts is reviewing the Section 105 closure to motorized vehicles (i.e. snowmobiles) for the Catamount and Northstar glaciers. The closure has been ineffective and the Ministry’s position is that it does not have the money or staffing to enforce the closure.

Importantly though, is that they are currently consulting stakeholders and would be interested in hearing comments from the climbing/skiing community. Please do so and also please circulate this email to others who may be interested.

Please seek additional information and/or direct your comments to Aina Cernenoks:
