It is well worth the $20/day as a non-resident.
The burn is if you actually own property in BC, but your primary address is Alberta, you are unable to buy the classified annual.

I can relate to both sentiments. It's expensive when you make a correlation with what we pay to fish annually here in Alberta. It is very worthwhile, if only once. Once you splash the Elk, it's hard not to return however. If you compare it to what people pay to float the Bow with a guide, it's cheap.
