For the lodge dinner, either way is fine for me.

Should we bring snowshoes?

Is the Centennnial trail much more scenic than the Lakeview Trail?

To be on the safe side, I guess we should bring snowshoes & or micro spikes with us. There is lot of snow in Frosty Mtn, let me check with Maimang.

Facilities Available at the Cathedral Provincial Park

Campfires
This is a wilderness area and visitors must be prepared. Freezing temperatures and snow can occur in any month and campfires cannot be relied upon for cooking or as a source of heat. Campers must bring portable stoves for cooking. Fires are prohibited at Lake of the Woods and Pyramid.
Firewood can be purchased from the Park Facility Operator in some parks or you can bring your own wood. Fees for firewood are set locally and may vary. To preserve vegetation and ground cover, please don’t gather firewood from the area around your campsite or elsewhere in the park. Dead wood is an important habitat element for many plants and animals and it adds organic matter to the soil. You can conserve firewood and air quality by keeping your campfire small.

Walk-In/Wilderness Camping
Core Area - Quiniscoe Lake, Lake of the Woods and Pyramid Lake

Camping within the park’s core area is restricted to designated sites near Lake of the Woods, Pyramid Lake and Quiniscoe Lake. All sites are first-come, first-served. Sites are usually accessible from June to September.

An information shelter is located between the private lodge and the ranger cabin. At this shelter are self-registration envelopes and a metal vault. Upon arrival, campers should fill out the registration form and deposit their fee in the vault. This is for all three camping areas. To reduce the visitor impact on the park, please view the following camping ethics.

Quiniscoe Lake has 30 sites designated by number posts. The sites are spread out along the southern shore of the lake amongst Engelmann spruce, Lyall’s larch and Sub-alpine fir. Boulders and rock outcroppings are strewn about the area, evidence of the area’s glacial history. The sites feature framed earth tent pads to minimize the impacts of camping by keeping people in designated areas. The sites are grouped together in clusters of three or four in order to share the 12 picnic tables and 13 fire rings. There are four pit toilets in the campground, one is near the lodge access road, a second is behind the ranger cabin between sites 4 and 7 and the other two are further along the lake beside the trail to sites 21-25. A firewood corral is located near the lodge access road approximately 100m from the campsites. Campers are reminded to conserve firewood. There are four wire mesh food caches on the ground to protect supplies from rodents and birds. They are not bear proof.

Is the Centennnial trail much more scenic than the Lakeview Trail?

I have not been on either trail's access portion, so I can't say for sure. If my memory serves, I recall reading that the Lakeview Trail has nothing much to see, and it is the steepest, but shortest. Centennial Trail (Ewart Creek approach) is longest, but scenic. Centennial Trail (Wall Creek approach) is also scenic. Not sure how Ewart Creek and Wall Creek approaches compare scenery wise.

Thank you Kathy!  I'll take the Wall Creek approach on descending so as to save $45.00.   :wink:

Frosty Mt的雪满大的，我们今天用上了雪鞋，但因为人多路都踩实了，也可以不用雪鞋。

你也去FROSTY？怎么没见你？[/quote]
带着小朋友们去，走了一半吧，就回来了。:oops: 雪大，小朋友的鞋湿掉了，但他们很兴奋，今年第一次玩雪，不肯回来。怕他们湿温就返回了。
朋友和朋友的小孩都是穿旅游鞋去的，我真的没想到这么大的雪
闪电湖很美很安逸，下午还在那里晒太阳，小睡了一下

好久没雪鞋了，我都觉得很兴奋

還有位置, 歡迎參加。那條路屬於Lodge的私人路, 其他車輛不能駛進。我現要趕著外出, 請把私人電郵發到我的站內短信。

发了，谢谢。

Say hi to Jerry for me.  Windy said she couldn't take a group pic, too bad.

大家玩好。多拍些照照。 :D

司機注意:
如閣下持有Novice牌(Class 7), 除非在一名年滿25歲持有Class 1 - 5的人仕陪同, 否則只可接載一名乘客, 也一定是掛上"N"字標誌。請參閱ICBC網站

如果讓第三者用你的車, 要確保對方有10年駕駛經驗, 或您的保險有包括小於10年駕駛經驗的司機。

粗略計算整個旅程往返駕駛距離約800km, 建議的Carpool費用：

車主出車，乘客分攤油費。

車主應保證車輛的良好狀態，換上雪胎, 遵守交規，安全駕駛，若違反交規，所收到的罰單由當時的駕駛人自行負擔。整個行車過程中，由於意外引發的修車費，由車上乘客及車主分攤，由於正常磨損需更換零件的修車費用由車主負責，舉例如下：

車窗被砸則保險以外須由車主負擔的費用由車上各人分攤。

爆胎需補胎，費用各人平攤，若因輪胎磨損過度，無法補胎需換胎，則換胎費用由車主負擔。

拖車費由各人平攤。

人要穿衣保暖, 汽罐也不要令它著涼, 我用舊襪子做了一件衣服給它穿, 減低爐子在低溫下失零機會。
