Instructions for subscribing and posting to the
Informalex and the Mountain Conditions Report (MCR)


This page is for members only. Everyone else, please visit www.acmg.ca/mcr to sign up to receive the Mountain Conditions Report (MCR).

The Informalex is a mailing list designed for the exchange of information on conditions, routes, and other relevant issues between ACMG and IFMGA members. It is divided into two geographical areas: "Coastal" and "Rockies/Interior". The Informalex is only viewed by members of these Associations and, as such, has fewer guidelines than the MCR.

The MCR is a public service offered by the ACMG. Members of the public and ACMG can sign up to receive current mountain condition reports provided by ACMG members. Because it is in the public realm, posting guidelines are necessarily tighter.

Before participating in any of these mailing lists please make yourself familiar with the posting guidelines described in recent ACMG News issues, the ACMG's members' site (click here to view) and www.acmg.ca/mcr.

Subscribing to the lists

You can subscribe to both the MCR and Informalex at the same time. A subscription allows you to receive and post to both mailing lists.

Note: You can sign up for both Informalex regions if you wish. Once subscribed to a list, you will automatically receive messages via email.





Posting to the lists

To post (send) to a mailing list you are subscribed to, just address your email message to the appropriate list:

Rockies and Interior - rockies@informalex.org
Coast - coastalex@informalex.org
MCR - mcr@informalex.org

You will begin receiving MCR posts immediately, but you will not be able to post and will not receive Informalex posts until the moderator has approved your subscription. This may take up to a week, and you will receive notification by email when your subscription has been approved.
