now check the "24 hr conditions"
the lillooet forecast is the same fraser canyon regional forecast as for lytton. the difference between forecast and actual conditions at lillooet is well discussed by don in his new guide.
oh no kidding the ice is better there in general but what with avvy conditions, melt and stuff I bet there isnt a lot of ice to climb this weekend there either
parkway closed, westbound transcanada closed at banff due to extreme avvy hazard, they can go drytooling while they wait for all the collapsed ice to regrow
