Where does 99 get closed? are these the gates on the hwy going north from pemberton? Does 99 South close coming out of lillooet? Is the synchro area still accessable?

 

Bridge river should still be open right ? will you be there this weekend?

aaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

 

does anyone know if there is anything in and worth doing on saturday that is south of the closings? whistler or pemberton on the 99 side, or hope or yale on the 1 side?

 

I'm assuming that with good weather forecast for saturday, sunday and monday, that the roads ought to open up by saturday afternoon .. sound reasonable?

whistler had 45 cm of snow last night. think this- if the avi danger is so high they are closing the road you would not want to be in most of the places anyway. even rambles can most likely cause slides in these conditions (there are no trees for a reason).

the farm in whistler is in. i don't know how highway 1 is for driving right now, since they had all this freezing rain. last tue we saw several semis in the ditch. a lot of car wrecks too. road from hope to the border was a sheet of ice. it too us over 2.5 hours to drive from hope to bellingham. bigdrink.gif

Hmm, looks like us interior climbers have got Lillooet to ourselves this weekend... cool.gif

 

Just read in the Lillooet News that the icefest is cancelled. Reasons given were lack of time. He's invited you all to his house for dinner though. Quote: "Schulmann said climbers who do show up on the Feb. 7 - 8 weekend will be invited to dinner at his home to "talk about ice climbing stuff."
