Dear Editor:
Once again the Grouse Grind snobs are hitting the hill way too early and mucking it up for the rest of us. The poor Metro Vancouver workers have three people guarding the trail so Lululemon-clad enthusiasts don't get in the way of these poor workers. I frequent the BCMC trail as it is lovely and quiet and well signed (Shhh! Don't tell anyone, though). For curiosity I did do the Grind last week before the workers got up (shame on me, I know) and it is amazing the work they have done. But in no way is there room for three workers and a haggle of Edgemont/Delany's moms to pass. Too steep. Too dangerous. I even had an old boy tell me as I passed that "they" have no right to keep us off the trail. I said back to him, "Yes they do. There's no room. One missed step and down ya go, and up comes the chopper to get yer sorry ass."
