    yus last year had a great Juneary. Do you know to what elevation one might be able to drive in the pinnacles? aka how close could i get to monashee lake?

    Looks like anything north of that isnt getting anything and is too warm. Big white looks decent today might sample (:

    I was up on twin lakes sledding 2 weeks ago right when the hot weather moved in. Could almost drive the truck right up to the parking lot at 1600m as it was SW facing. Too bad about the snow patches at 1300m that made us drive the sleds on about 3km of dirt. Need a new skeg now.

    Sweet big white was alright with 20cm of -1 degree snow at 2100m. The new snow is not well bonded and sloughs (or wet slides got some pretty big ones going) gain mass pretty fast but move slow. It looks like silverstar webcams have melted out while I was at big white... It seems there is a pretty sharp temperature change with this stationary front right now. Red mountain is showing new snow at their base (1200m), silverstar is now above freezing (1900) and big white is snowing down to around 1500m. Hmmmm

    F-ing boat is getting soaked, forecast looks just like last June. Oh well, kid is popping out in 1.5 weeks so boating time is looking bleak anyways.

    Lamothe, might be selling my 09 skidoo XP 154 if you are interested PM me.
