Snow depth 55-70cm at peak. 30cm of light powder on top of crust. Ski pen 15cm, boot pen 30cm. Very lightly snowing all afternoon.

Frosty Mtn approach
Horrid trail conditions below the golden larches meadow. Plenty of snow but under tree cover, which was everywhere, rock, roots, soil and ice abounded.
Snow was quite nice, skinning and skiing on a supportive crust on the meadow. Skinned up to the lookout viewing all of Frosty Mtn.
The bowls look skiable but do not know the ridge conditions. NE and N cornices forming. Snow depth variable, 40cm on wind exposed features to 60cm in lee terrain.
The ski out was even worse, gave up with 3km to go and boot packed out. Finished by headlamp.

Between Mt. Kelly and Nordheim
Based on local conditions and the Manning resort report, we figured bringing skis would be dumb and that the snow would be very consolidated. We were wrong. Almost no snow from the road to the top of Mt. Kelly but we were surprised at the conditions after that. Only about 65cm total on the ground on the flats. About 3-4 inches of sugary powder on a crusty layer that would not support ours nor my dog’s weight, followed by 5 inches of sugar again and then another crusty layer that would not support weight more often than not. Looking across at the brothers, we couldn’t help but wonder if the riding might be okay up there right now.
Afternoon temps and sun were definitely having an effect on southern sections with a slightly more vertical degree but the flats seemed to be less effected.

Windy Joe (Manning)
Snowshoed up Windy Joe today and while not a ski destination, thought folks might be interested in conditions in Manning.

Mount Kelly
Season opener breaking trail on Mount Kelly. Ski'd solo up this mellow logging road and forest climb.
Snow was fresh powder 4-6in on dirt at the Hwy, as deep as 24in along the climb and 52cm at the summit.
Weather was calm, snowing lightly on the way up then the sun came out. ZERO to -1 during the outing.
Got a few powder turns but no face shots :-)
Glad I took the old skis!

Windy Joe Lookout / Cascade Lookout
<p>I tried snowshoeing up to Monument 83 on Sunday via the Similkameen River Trail, but ran into deep faceting snow, so I retreated to Windy Joe Lookout (the bootpack made for good traveling conditions). Yesterday I tried going up to Cascade Lookout and ran into similar conditions, but it was a lot more wet and loose due to the increase in humidity/rainfall over the previous 12 hours.
Snow was extremely sloppy and waterlogged below treeline -- my snowshoe penetration was approximately 10cm-20cm per step. My boot penetration was approximately 15cm-30cm per step.
I did go up a steep drainage successfully yesterday (35+ degrees), but coming down a similar drainage just an hour later proved to be a bad idea since my snowshoes were sinking in considerably (20cm+) each step I took.
Snowfall started as small flakes (a shower), but became larger fractalized flakes (a proper snow shower) the further down the mountain I got. By the time I got back to the car it had transitioned to small drizzle showers.
The temperature was around -1 ~ 1 degrees C. Windchill cooled things down to what felt like -2 ~ -1 degrees C.</p>

Red mountain ski tour
<p>Thick melt freeze layer in most areas. 10-30 cm of cohesive dry powder on the more northern aspects of the upper pitches.</p>

Frosty
<p>Lots of sluffing on steeper slopes. Storm slab is obviously super dry and fluffy and not bonded well to snowpack. Nothing too much to worry about, but lots of loose dry natural releases on most aspects</p>

Mt Kelly
<p>Great skiing on a mostly cloudy day up at Mt Kelly.
We kept to gentle slopes, and didn't see any obvious signs of avy danger. It snowed off and on while we were on the mountain, never heavy. </p>

Mt. Kelly
<p>-2C at the car at 9:30am. Snow typically had a thin crust from previous few days warming. Crust was more pronounced on open, solar slopes. Above the skintrack, saw evidence of an older, very small rider triggered release on a small convexity. Snow was fun (5-10cm fresh) in dense trees above 1750m but quite heavy. Conditions quickly deteriorated in the afternoon as temperatures rose and rain started to fall. The snowpack was saturated and made for very challenging riding on the way down.. 3C(?) and raining at the car at 1:30pm.</p>

Bojo Mountain
<p>15-20cm of soft powder on most aspects and in trees. Wind affected at peak/ridgetop. Great tree skiing on the west slope of Bojo down to Poland Lake. The lake was frozen over but the ice was very soft and slushy. </p>

<p>-2C at the car at 9am. Mixed sun and cloud. Straightforward skin up though the alder was thick in places. Solid rain crust most of the way up. Crust slowly softened up/disappeared above ~1850m. Upper ridge was very wind pressed. Skied about 5-10cm preserved powder above 1950m. Anything below that was very wet and heavy on the way down. 0C at the car at 3pm.</p>

Claimstake
<p>South facing aspects above tree line were wind scoured with icey patches. A quick pit was dug at about 1880m. We had not seen any signs of any instability at all prior to the dig. The quick column test noted about 20 cm storm snow (one finger snow) on a thick ice crust that was very touchy. Noted that during the test that with more force applied to the compression that the storm snow layer reacted and slid and this propagated through to a second crust layer another 20-30 cm down. Because of the reactivity down to this second deeper crust we changed our goals of riding some steeper pitches off the summit. We elected for careful terrain selection on the way down and none in our group triggered anything at all. We did avoid steep slopes as a result of the test. </p>
