Saw quite a few sleds on the yamacam today at lunch. What's scoop on where people are riding from?

Stuck between golden and revy trucks jacked knifed in one of the tunnels, hope she clears out soon and we can make it to revy tonight. Might end up saving money on the hotel room tonight. Going to be deep in the morning

Same here. I've seen a few truckers ignoring the chain up signs so far. Hope no one was hurt. Harfing some serious snow right now.

Sounds like every other day on Hwy 1 during winter.

Enjoy the Pow! Hope it doesn't rain high up today with forecasted warmer temps and freezing level to 1800m.

How's the highway, did it open up?? I watch highway thru hell every Tuesday, some of those truckers are God damn idiots and its a miracle they even have a license.

I've been checking drivebc.ca and it says no closures so far, maybe they don't update it that much?

We are heading out in a few hours, fingers crossed.

Yes the update is there I must have missed it, wasnt looking close enough.

Just checked out Avalanche.ca for an update as well:

"Winter storm conditions have produced a dangerous storm slab which sits on a touchy weak layer. Now is a good time to avoid avalanche terrain and stick to low angle slopes."

Well... this is not great for the groomers trying to put in the trail --- the good thing is that the temp drops 1 degree for every 1000 feet -- so the valley wet snow/rain will be snow all the way to the top. The other bad news is that the road between golden and revy appears to be closed still.... hope it opens for fri drive :eek:

The snow has been rained away off the trees at the ski area to 1700m+.
We need some actual ride reports dudes!
Looks like a classic sh*t sandwich, with cold air trapped low, mild air moderate elevation, blah, blah, blah.
