    If anyone has been recently or is going in the next few days....I would love a conditions report I was there two weeks ago, and solar warming effects were starting to take place at elevation.    It seems there have been some storm systems roll in since then, how significant have they been?  Any snow this week.


    thanks


    trying to figure out if we should head up this weekend...:)

    I presume you're talking Kootenays somewhere? Rossland Range has been amazing with consistent snowfall all of March - even good on southerly aspects until yesterday. North sides are excellent with good stability, but that may change depending on how much wet, heavy snow we get over the next few days. Overall though, still getting some of the best turns of the year. I hear Whitewater way has been similar...
