    Thinking of an impromptu Backcountry trip out of Castlegar/Slocan. Any beta on snowpack, freezing levels past few days? Goods to be had or not?

    We drove over Rogers Pass yesterday afternoon and it switched over from rain to snow at 850M elevation. A friend skied Revelstoke yesterday and said it was heavy powder of acceptable quality, but not light and fluffy. We are heading to a hut that is high elevation and I am fairly optimistic that the skiing will be good up there.

    The freezing level spiked at ~ 1600m yesterday (Friday) at Red, with good powder skiing still to be found on high North aspects. Temps are dropping, stability is improving, and there’s more snow in the forecast.

    Anyone have any beta on FL line in the Gorge area recently? Going to K3 Cats Fri-Sun and temps look less than ideal...
    I like huge dumps.

    Check the RFC for temps- https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/e...r-station-data

    Click on the station you want
    Click download data and create charts
    Select TA.telemetry for air temp
    Press grid to see hourly data


    There is no station right by gorge, but generally 1800m hit 0 last week, but have been below freezing since then

    Hopefully someone has been out and has some real life info

    Check SpotWx.com. K3's tenure is slightly NE of Malakwa, generally located above 1,500m.

    Just got back from 4 days at Blanket. Snow held on pretty well, was definitely coastal pow and not interior blower. Was a great time. Highly recommended terrain, guides etc...

    Thanks Whis! Did you do any skiing below the hut? If so, how were the conditions lower down?

    First two days we got down to about 1500 and it was heavy-ish. Still very skiable. it cooled, snowed a bit and last day we got down to 1400 and snow quality was still good that low, though there were buried tree bombs. I'm from the coast so my blower is probably your cement so take this with a grain of salt.

    I get deals on industrial garbage bags, unfortunately nothing designer. Maybe when the industry goes vogue it will change...

    I know the group at the Asulkan Hut this weekend. Wonder if they got much sleep last night?

    Glory chair at WH20 is closed today due to forecasted high winds. Doesn't look too crazy yet, at least from town and the webcams.

    RMR lifts, except for lower gondola, on wind hold. The only chair they opened to the public was the Stellar. Subpeak winds gusting over 100 km/h. Trees being blown down. Think I'll take the day off!
