Sky Pilot Access Beta

[Bigtree]

Has anyone been up there recently and can advise on conditions? I was thinking about having a go via Shannon Creek FSR access in 2 weeks time. Thanks.

Expect snow. Anything above about 3500' around here is still well buried. Not sure about the Sky Pilot area specifically, but Elfin Lakes / Garibaldi Lake are both still under 1.5 to 2 metres. With the heat coming, things will start to melt out, but I doubt 2 weeks will be enough to get rid of all of it.

Some friends did it on Canada Day. Take ice axe.

Roger. Thanks guys.

Ya, I got the deets, summit block and west ridge are snowfree but snowline starts somewhere on upper Shannon Creek road.

I went up there last month via Britiana Creek to Furry Creek FSR's. All gates are now unlocked.

Takes you right to the Mountain Lake Hut Trail trail head then to the hut below Sheer and Sky Pilot.
