Feb 3rd: Once last week's snow had settled, and the wind had it's way, accumulations ranging from 5cm's down to nothing (in some wind blown areas) were left on the trails. The snow was mixed in to a firm base on Thursday in to Friday morning, and while no snow fell during the grooming, strong winds were blowing around some loose snow at times leaving some drifting and partially filled set track in some open areas.
Trails have a reasonable though below seasonal average snow base, but a few early natural season hazards still exist. These include a couple remaining water crossing dips, and some exposed dirt or rocks. Watridge Lake trail is multi-use, all other trails are for skiers only.
If heading into the backcountry, be aware of avalanche conditions. Skiers/riders and ice climbers should be aware of overhead and early-season hazards. Current conditions can be found at Avalanche Canada.
