Be sure to have a look at the February issue of Backcountry Magazine. In the photography section, Spectacle, you'll see a spectacular photo by Bushwhacker Stephen Matera. Way to go Steve!

On the Backcountry Magazine website they have an image of the cover to better help you find that issue. That issue also has a cool article about Fred Beckey's ski experiences in the North Cascades - check it out!

Happy New Year everyone! Lots of happenings in our community and opportunities for the club in 2006. It occurs each year that things slow down in November and December, then pick up again in January. I think you'll see that cycle contine, as several announcements will be forthcoming in the coming days and weeks. 2006 promises to be be the biggest year yet for our club!
