The Outdoors Club
9[’HE session of 1930-31 has proved to be the best that this Club has
JI.. ever had. The enrolment of active members is over fifty, making it
one of the largest clubs on the campus. During the fall term the Club
made all the regular annual hikes up Seymour, Crown, and other North
Shore mountains. In addition to these, the ‘Camel” on Crown Mountain
was conquered twice, both times with women in the party, a thing which
has never been attempted before by the Club. Another new feature on
this year’s programme was the ascent of Mount Baker by fifteen members
of the Club. The peak was not reached due to adverse weather condi
tions; the party ran into a blizzard at an elevation of nine thousand feet
and had to turn back.
The skit put on by members of the Club for Theatre night, although
a first attempt, was quite a success. A swimming party was held during
the fall term as a get-together for the old and new members. On New
Year’s Eve the Club held its second annual turkey dinner in the Club
cabins on Grouse Mountain.
During the spring term the Club activities are confined almost
entirely to skiing, and trips have been planned to several of the North
Shore peaks. The annual men’s downhill race from the top of Dam
Mountain to the Club cabin; the women’s race; and a new feature this
year, a cross-country race, are all parts of the Club’s programme. This
last race starts from the Club cabin and proceeds out to the end of
Thunderbird Ridge and back again to the cabin. It is about five miles
in length and will test the skill and endurance of the best skiers.
