Skookumchuck Dec29-31/2009

[Bulldozer]

Went up for a couple dayz. Road treacherously iced, a few people off in places. Snow was worse at the Pemberton end of the lake, less snow as you approach the hotsprings, still held lots of ice under the trace of new snow. Hotsprings themselves in great condition.

Road from Harrison up to hotsprings is closed, very closed...
Next Spring, early summer should be fixed.

Is Skookumchuck a Provincial Park, an Indian Park, or what?

Is there more soaking than the one tub you have pictured?

[Guncho]

Skookumchuk is on native land and is open to the public for a nominal fee.

There are five tubs. Check the extra pictures in the post above.

Pictures with little arrows are video.

If you look in the picture above you can see a rectangular(wood) box sticking up from the snow. This is the start of another new pool being constructed (pool #6). A deck is under the snow and the box is the valve assembly.
Mike Sato showed up on the 30th, we had a good visit and a good soak. Dang he likes it HOT, way too hot for my liking. I sat out of the water more than in the water.

Thanks Tom for the post and info. I would also like to meet and talk with Mike Sato someday if I ever get back up north.
