Rubberhead to Larch Hills chalet
Lunch at the chalet and rides at 12:30 back to town.
We are all set for this coming saturdays "up and over" run from Rubberhead to Larch Hills. The plan is to meet at the Rubberhead Parking lot for 9:00, which is at 2.5 km up the 110 FSR. The turn off for the 110 is 4.4 km east past the canoe forest products office on the Trans Canada highway. We will be finishing at the Larch Hills chalet some time between 11:00-12:00. We will have some treats for the end and along the way, but athletes will need to either bring a lunch, or if there is a parent that is willing to shuttle "drop bags" with lunch and a change of clothing to the chalet,that would be ideal. If there is someone willing to do this, please let me know. We are hoping to enjoy a team lunch at the chalet around noon. Please remember to bring plenty of water, a snack and appropriate clothing (it can be much colder the top!).
Here’s the route that we plan to take:
Double D, Rubberhead Climb, Meatgrinder, Muffin Top. This gets you to the upper Rubberhead parking lot. From there, take Half Baked (brand new trail) to Larch Hills Road, Hemlock Glide, Afterthought, The Greenway, Cottonwood Cutoff to South Hub and down Larch Hills Road.

Saturday, October 4, 2025 at Skimikin Lake. 10 AM start. Details on how everything works is in the attachment.
It would be helpful if kids could pre-plan their teams and team names, but there will also be time to put together teams at the start.
The event is 90 minutes. It should run from about 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM which allows some time at the beginning and end for organizing and results. Bring a watch or other device to keep track of time!
Please arrive at the start/finish no later than 10:00 AM (9:45 would be better) - we hope to start the clock as soon as groups are organized.
We met with the Skimikin caretaker and there are a few requests:
Don’t park in any campsites. She will charge you for the site!
Parking is free in the main parking lot (and walk to the start/finish area), along Skimikin road and on the FSR that goes around the lake.
If you plan to stay after Mantracker, she suggested that the day use area by the main part of the campsite (east side of the lake) is a bit roomier and nicer.
Always a fun day!

There will be a ski team hike on Monday Sept. 1 for all those interested. We will meet at 8:30 am at the Silver Creek community park. Here are the directions:
The park is located 15 km south of Salmon Arm on the Salmon River Road.(3.5 km past the Silver Creek store. The park is on the left hand side of the road and if you get to the Silver Creek fire hall you have just passed it.
We will drive another 6 km up a logging road.There are a couple rough steep sections but is is driveable with 2 wd.
It only takes 30 min. of hiking to get to a good look out. The last half of the hike is steep. I will be taking ski walking poles. For those who don't want to go all the way a route will be flagged back to the vehicles so you can turn back when you like. I expect the hike to the peak and back to take 4 to 5 hours.
Please send me an email if you think you might come so I know who to expect when we meet at the Silver Creek park.
