If you were at the saddle at the back of Lang at the Park sign looking down to the left is Grizzly Creek. Looking down to the right is East Quartz which is also accessible from Quartz Creek. Lots of guys call the micro bowl as you enter Lang on the left side Little Grizzly bowl too... hope that helps.

so is lang accessible from east quartz via quartz stagging area then? or vice versa I guess..... or is the park in the way? in therory about the same distnace or what you think? but the ride from gorman to lang is too fun.....

Yes you can ride from Gorman to Quartz via East Quartz. East Quartz is easier to get to from the Gorman side but it is doable from both sides.

I have also heard people refer to East Quartz as Grizzly, I believe the Golden Tourism Travel Planner calls it Grizzly. I have heard older guys refer to it as "The 50".

any new snow in golden?



There was about 8" of new snow at the staging area of Silent Pass yesterday.




It was left over AB snow which I hadn't cleaned off and fell off my truck in a little pile by the back tire. Is it illegal to bring AB snow into BC without a permit? :)
