Get this started for the season. Camera at the top of Comet1 is showing a small amount at present (Friday, November 3/23). It is coming and there is precip in the forecast.

Are you ready?
I am and sitting waiting for snow.

It is a great riding area Trevor. You and Bev would love it. Mid week is great and normally no crowds.

Hopefully it's days like this when I come

Saw a pic on IG of a sled at the main chalet. Looked very very thin though.

Same elevation at Silver Star and it definitely is pretty skinny. Still driving trucks up.

Went up to the Gord and Sidney cabin yesterday. Maybe 2-3ft at best. Pretty bony still.

 

[ferniesnow]

Pretty skinny on the way up the trail?
Where did you unload?

 

[snoflake]

I think around Km 18 on Brash. A few rocks on the road to be aware of as well.

20 days later than the last post. About the same amount of snow in the Range. Gordon Sydney seems to have 2-3’ and the rest is very marginal. Sicamous (the ApexAlpine camera at Owls) appears to have about 9” at the Owls cabin.
Sorry for the shitty pictures.

That is so dismal. My intuition tells me this might not be natural.

better blame it on global warming then tax the crap out of it

 

[gedakbx]

Yes forsure that will help lol

Drove to the 10km marker up Brash yesterday. In that area, the snow cover actually starts to cover the road. 1,450m and I turned around. Other trucks and sleds have been driving up but this is telling me it is pretty skinny up top.
this weekend has a few days with low percentage chances of snow. Cross my fingers.....

drove to 26 k up cooke on sunday
helped the club with a little trail brushing
the snow pack is very minimal to say the least

This wasn’t me but I laughed as I drove by........
”that’s I sweet cut block up there, I think I will try it out.” somebody was thinking.

I probed 110 cm along some edges of some meadows. A couple of crusts and the one 30 cm down is quite significant.
Overflow in the meadows that have water in them. They look very inviting but over the years, I’ve learned my lesson on that aspect of physics.

Parking lot. If you use Ashton (it is smoother but less snow cover), drive up as far as you think it is safe (10, 12, 14 km).
