PowderGangster Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 Trip: Coquihalla Highway - Thar Peak Date: 2/20/2012 Trip Report: After a Thursday night mission on the north shore I was craving something a little longer, a little deeper. Friday nights storm dropped a massive 60cms on the North Shore of Vancouver leading me to believe that skiing might be good in other spots as well. Off the Coquihalla again.... It seems to be the go to spot this year. The snow pack is growing deeper and deeper every time I head east filling in all the gully's and smoothing out the features. There was no sunshine and the 2 to 4 cms forecasted for the day was more like 10cms. That was on top of the 30cms or so that fell Friday/Saturday. Avalanche conditions were deteriorating by the minute and the snow seemed to change constantly as we worked up the mountain. So we bailed..... We still had to navigate a safe route down. Great turns where had. [img:center]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7045/6907712983_8172fbb688.jpg[/img] powdergangster blog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 You guys made the right choice. We went touring in Manning on Thursday and there was a pretty good crust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderGangster Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 I think it would have been good in manning park as well sunday. So much snow fell on the friday night.The crust was there on solar aspects the wind had blown it all on the north eastern side of the mountain. I haven't touring in manning any good skiing?
