I am thinking to try 3 day traverse from Garibaldi to Brohm Ridge and back to Hwy 99 (I drew the red line alone the route in the Clark Geomatics' map, see the picture below), is there anyone here who has done this route? Could you please give me some description/info/suggestion about the route? Thank you so much for any info you might give

Just stay on the main road, it's not that hard. The chalet is right on the road past the locked gate. I'm pretty you won't be able to drive the road much if at all, as it would be snow covered for snowmobile use only. It's going to be a long walk, and chances of being around snowmobiles is high. I wound't recommend going there. A super long slog on a treed FSR, with minimal views once you get to the chalet.

Got it. Thanks for your info, that is what I was worried, I will go visit there when snow is free!

It's not too bad up there, you'll probably see (& hear!) some sleds, but once they get up onto the ridge properly there's a whole bunch of space for them to spread out into. It's a nice spot to go and has some great views once you're up.
The other option you have is to go up the other spur that takes you up towards the viewpoint (I can't recall the name of the spur, but it's the first left off of the Cat lake FSR). You'll have to park kind of low, but it's a nice hike up the road, and gets you up onto the western end of the skyline. When you get to the end of the road in an old cut block, just turn uphill and you'll quickly be up into the alpine meadows. When I lived in Squamish, that was my usual way up.

Thank you so much for your input! I got email reply fron BTSC (thanks too!), it is said that the chalet is 14.3km from the Squamish hwy. The snow is near the hwy a very long walk. I have to check google earth and think again and again.

Thanks again for all your help!

i wouldnt bother with brohm unless you can start hiking/skinning at 1000M (elevation) - there are better options than to hike that logging road

The Lodge is at:
49°50'10.57"N
123° 4'13.52"W

They have a good webcam that shows current temperature as well:

Thank you so much!

I am thinking doing 3 day winter traverse:

Burton Hut to Brohm Ridge and then hwy99

have anyone here done that in the winter time? any info to share? Thanks!!

That would be a variation of the Garibaldi Neve traverse, it is certainly doable and about the same difficulty as the main traverse.

The Garibaldi Park map by Clark Geomatics shows the two basic options for travel between Garibaldi Lake and Brohm Ridge.

Thanks for the info, I do have this map, will plan this trip very carefully.
