    Tb. Varsity øtddoor Club 3ournal VOLUME XXXI 1988 ISSN 0524-5613 ‘7/se ?ô7ireuity of Bteah Ccs!um6.a Vscoiwi, TIlE PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Andy Pacheco The success of a club can be gauged by how many people ase inspired enough to become involved with the club activities. For an outdoor club, the major activities are, of course, trips to the mountains. Both Longhike and especially the glacier school in October attracted record numbers, and though these numbers predictably decreased as the midterms and exams came raining down, many an impromptu day trip was still thrown together at the eleventh hour in the club room Fridays. The VOC Christmas trips were all well attended, and in addition, two very successful avalanche awareness courses and a wilderness first aid course were held in December and January. Close to home, the VOC fielded many intramural teams, including two Arts 20 relay teams and frtt Storm the Wall teams. The best thing is how many people still show up at meetings and at the clubroom in Maich, even if they are too busy to go on trips. Many a summer adventure will be planned even as this article goes to the printers! Our love for the outdoors and outdoor activities does lead the VOC to get involved in various projects related to our interests. Among the prujects taken on this year: two bake sales were organized to raise funds to create the park at the Little Smoke Bluffs in Squamish. In addition, planning continues for the construction of “the Enrico Kindl memorial climbing wall” on campus, a facility which would allow for rock climbing instruction and training year round.

This year was a good one for the V.O.C. We have seen our membership grow to a recent high of over 250. For many, the club has opened up a whole new world of adventure and challenge. For others, the club has continued to be a central part of their lives adding new memories and aspirations. The success of our club has always been in the strength of our active members. This year, again, active members gave their time unselfishly to such things as leading trips, cabin committee meetings and social functions, not to mention many others. It is these people I would like to thank most for making my job, as President, that much more enjoyable. For those of you who have participated in club activities for the first time, I urge you to take an active part in helping to run the club. I am sure you will find that the rewards far exceed the time and effort involved. As a club whose major interests lie in the outdoors, I feel we as a membership have helped people become more aware of what is beyond the campus of U.B.C. British Columbia offers a wealth of wilderness which is accessible to everyone. It is important that as a club we continue to pass on our knowledge about outdoor activities and wilderness areas.

    Veeocee Mountain (right centre) and Ubyssey Glacier (left), in the McBride Range of Garibaldi Park photo by Alaistair Macdonald Th« Varsity Outdoor Quh Journal VOLUME Vm - 1965 7he VnivetMj of 3tiflih CoiumHa. Vancouver 8, B.C. i FRONTISPIECE PICTURE: Veeocee Mountain (ca. 7750') lies in the McBride Range of Garibaldi Park. Referring to the map drawn by Bert Port in the VOC Journal Vol. VII, the mountain lies three miles south-east of Mt. Cheakamus—just off the map. When the pioneers of mountaineering in northern Garibaldi Park, the Carters, Mrs. P. Munday and the Hooleys, met with the mem­ bers of the 1964 VOC Fitzsimmons Horseshoe Expedition to discuss new-name proposals for the area's unnamed features, it was commonly acknowledged that the VOC had, in the last twenty years, accomplished many outstanding mountaineering and ski-touring activities in Garibaldi Park. It was also agreed that these activities should be commemorated in the form of permanent geographic names for some of the park features. Proposed names were to be applied to prominent features and difficulty of ascent was to have no bearing on the selection. Glacier-clad Veeocee Mtn. is located on the outer extremity of a ridge trending first south, then west and finally northwest from Mt. Sir Richard. North and below the mountain in a valley bottom lies Ubyssey Glacier. To the north of this icy highway is a high jagged ridge with four chisel-like prominences, now officially known as The Lectures Cutters (ca. 8100'-8400'). This ridge is a portion of the colossal Sir Richard massif» VOC is greatly honoured that the Canadian Permanent Committee for Geographic Names and especially Messrs.

FOREWORD Ecosign Mountain Resort Planners Ltd., has prepared ski area master plans in British Columbia since 1975. We prepared the first Ski Area Master Plan for Whistler Mountain in 1978 and we also prepared a conceptual Master Plan for Blackcomb Mountain in 1978 for the Blackcomb Skiing Corporation. Updates to the Master Plans for both mountains have been prepared periodically over the past 30 years. As the primary author of the Master Plans,it is important for the public, government officials and First Nations to understand that while we have worked diligently with the highly skilled and respected management team at Whistler Blackcomb, visions of the future are by their very nature imperfect. We have specifically found over the years that changes in the preferences of Whistler Blackcomb’s clientele, population demographics and new types of winter sports mean that there will need to be flexibility in the Master Plan in the future. I give just two examples: The first two master plans for each of Whistler and Blackcomb had no mention whatsoever of snowboarding and yet snowboarders now comprise about one-third of all visitors on average throughout the winter season.

Its yearly contributions to moun­ taineering are maturing and continually increasing in mag­ nitude. In the past few years club activities have gained scope This has resulted in several expeditions of considerable success. The club consequently has attracted more experien­ ced climbers who, in turn, demand activities suiting their skill. To record the varied activities, the Varsity Outdoor Club Journal was instigated. Now in Its third year of publi cation we hope that this club activity will be continued and improved.
