Baker, BC interior

[glassgowkiss]

A week ago I drove back through Transcanda- no ice to speak of along the highway, besides the usual Rockies. Pretty much nothing worth climbing east of Field. Maybe one good line on Mt Hunter, but Golden was pretty bare, Rogers Pass already had quite a bit of snow.

Went to Baker, a ton of snow, but both Pan Dome and Tabasco Kid were non existent. Some icicles here and there, but mostly snowed up rock.

Thank you so much!!! That definitely relives some anxiety about a 3 hour recon drive.

Rockies has some good ice, so at the moment is your only real option (flying recommended). I would say there might be some stuff high up along Duffy Lake Road, but most likely is buried under 4m of freshies.

I kind of doubt even that, it hit 10C in Lillooet the other day and was raining right to the summit of the Duff on Friday (on top of the giant snowpack). Just doesn't seem to have been cold enough to generate roadside ice yet even at the Rambles. Also the ground is being insulated by the snow instead of freezing so all the creeks and seeps are still running water

went skiing yesterday up the duffy, safe to say there is no roadside ice in, great skiing though

I predict I will be climbing ice in BC on Dec 19 and Dec 20.
