冬季锻炼的好去处：BCMC+Grouse Mountain Snowshoe trails

lulululu

这个周六，和00大哥，Eric, Popcorn和新朋友Lin Zhen 爬了BCBM（标记三十七左右套上小冰爪），到顶后还走了最短的一个雪鞋trail-Blus Grouse Loop，小半天的锻炼，和新老朋友一起，运动量够足，玩得很开心。

很推荐雪季的Grouse Mountain，走BCMC和一些容易的雪鞋trail. Grouse Mountain离我们很近，带上小冰爪爬BCMC也很安全，是冬季锻炼的好去处，建议买张年卡，一年内上下缆车都不要钱(而且带朋友上行缆车半价)，相比去Gym，又省钱，空气风景都好，运动量又足够。。。

Grouse Mountin的雪鞋trail在下面这张地图里有：

http://www.grousemountain.com/files/GM_Winter_Trail_2012.pdf

1. Blue Grouse Loop----1km
2. Whistler Water Way----2.5km
3. Dam Mountain Loop--1.3km
4. Discovery Loop----3.5km
5. snowshoe grind----5.1km

另外关于小冰爪，MEC和MEC东边的Hill Sound有卖


要注意的是因为这种简易方便的trail crampon没有阻雪板，在雪很湿粘的时候(especially in temperatures around freezing)要常检查脚底是否结团块(balling up)，如果有，要敲掉

This is my favorite trail. Safe and enough exercise. In the winter, I go to Dam mountain and Thunderbird ridge. The first part is very crowded and from Dam to Thunder ridge, I am usually a solo hiker.

It is good to go to BCMC at a raining day, you will not feel rain, because of rich forest.

這個提點非常好.

Balling up脚底便沒有找力,比沒有穿上這個還危險.  :shock:

要敲掉. 可用hiking poles.
我用過之後, 結果脚也敲痛了.  :cry:  

終於把小冰爪.... :evil:

这种MicroSpike有阻雪板(toe and heel plates)防止balling up，本地的Atmosphere有卖

If they used microSpike, they shouldn't have gotten themselves into trouble....
