Cat Lake Road - Brohm Ridge/NE Face Conditions?

[DonkeyBoy]

Has anyone been up Cat Lake road (Garibaldi Park) in the last few weeks? Can one make it by 4x4 truck up to the Snowmobile Hut? Would like to try Garibaldi via Brohm Ridge, NE Face. Thanks for the beta.

A truck won't make it far from the highway. There is a lot of snow.

I went up Garibaldi via Brohm Ridge last year in late June and the snow line was at about the level of the gate. There's way less snow this year, so I expect the road will clear up sooner, but probably not quite yet.

Thanks for the info, much appreciated. Guess I'll give it another few weeks.

Just approach from Diamond Head. A little longer, but nicer views and no sled-head detritus. Some of the south-east face variants to Atwell are quite moderate in the spring too and close to DH - check Bivouac for descriptions.
