It's open.What is the state of Hall? According to the website it is open, but I've heard the FSR is active and plowed?
Well thought out and great ideas!Folks should sign in at the cabins also.
The sign in pages should be updated with a column that people can put their radio frequency they are using.
Greatly assists SAR when there is a known channel to use.
I have also mentioned to some of the Revelsoke society group that a sign in/out book could be set up at the main boulder booth for those folks going to Turtle. as this area has no cabin.
Just because folks park in the Boulder lot, there is still access to 3 mountains.
It is fortunate that the last 3 fellows were on Boulder and not Turtle as the search efforts could have been body recoveries.
A sign would need to be made to state. SIGN IN/OUT IF GOING TO TURTLE and a BOOK. Place at the Boulder Main, Frisby and West booths,
Easy peasy and a the society showing their "Due Diligence" to all snombobile users providing a very low cost and hopefully effective tool.
No one can help the ones who fail to use the provided tools if they are available..

It's open.
These are all great ideas. Especially the radio frequency column for sign in books.
I like the idea for Turtle! Also, why not leave a printout of your commonly used radio frequencies on the dash of your truck? That's my plan.
People need to have the fear of death when they are in the back country. Not “oh well search and rescue will save me”. Be responsible for your own actions.
After reading about the folks who spent the night and the threads about Sat phones/SPOTs, I have ordered an inReach. Is there a cell number for the club that I can program in to send a message if I happen to need assistance or just to say that we are OK and don't need SAR if we haven't signed out?
Ok I understand contacting the RCMP if I need SAR. What is the procedure if my vehicle is left in the parking lot longer than expected because we are limping a broken sled out or something such? Do I let the RCMP know that I am actually fine and let the club go through the whole process of checking log books, contacting RCMP, etc just to find out from the RCMP that they shouldn't have worried?
