glassgowkiss Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 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.

Rafael_H Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Thank you so much!!! That definitely relives some anxiety about a 3 hour recon drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassgowkiss Posted November 23, 2009 Author Share Posted November 23, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riptorn Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 went skiing yesterday up the duffy, safe to say there is no roadside ice in, great skiing though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I predict I will be climbing ice in BC on Dec 19 and Dec 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
