| Was thinking of snowshoeing Mount Cheam on Saturday as the forecast looks very promising! Has anyone been up recently? How close can you get to the parking lot? |

With a 4x4, one could drive to the 1000m level of Airplane FSR on Sunday. |

| Just out of curiosity, isn't there signs for non-motorized vehicles up there? Not that the signs would stop them even if there was... At the trailhead I thought there was signs, although they can likely get around that easy enough with another route. |

| Dont think it applies to sledders as long as they dont break through the snowpack and dig up ground/trees/vegetation |
