West Island

Nice day out on Myra - winter above 1000m on north aspects, spring most other aspects. Approached directly via E Tennent creek. Warming trend through morning and early afternoon with significant solar effect early on. Thankfully high cloud developed that calmed the sun's input up high quite dramatically. 10-15cm new snow from yesterday's small storm was sitting on a soft crust at TL and above. Non wind affected terrain was stable with steep slopes skinned without any issue. 2 small N facing wind affected test slopes at ridge crest released, one remotely from near its base. A little more touchy than we'd expected. We altered our plans to ski higher north facing terrain with wind affected entry as the wind slabs built yesterday hadn't settled yet, and/or were perhaps re-energized by the warming temps as the day went on. Had a nice ski out similar to our approach line.

We got to the Bedwell Lake trail head with chains on the truck on Friday morning. Skinned from the car to Bedwell Lake through steadily deeper schlurpy. We were able to skin over both lakes and made camp at Bedwell Lake. Friday night precip was somewhere between rain and snow. Saturday morning cleared by 9AM. We attempted to skin to Big Interior and found breakable crust causing us to question our life choices. Aborted below the Big Interior north cirque and turned tail for fear of twisted knees. We noticed pin wheeling off the north aspect of Big Interior as we were skinning back across the lake. There was also evidence of avalanche crowns high on big interior - maybe windslab from earlier in the week, very hard to say given how far away from it we were. Back at the truck the road had melted out by the time we got down.

Good ski day on Myra, sun in the morning turning to clouds by noon. Very enjoyable 10-15cm sitting delicately on a hard icy crust. Bit of sluff sliding around but nothing dodgy. Enjoyable powder up top soon turned to heavy wet at around 1300M.

Saturday rain to summit. Slush everywhere. No wet loose activity observed but visibility was terrible. It must have cleared over night - Sunday morning there was rime ice on the summit. South east aspects just started to soften at 11. Ski out varied from bullet proof crust to deep slush below the lake. As of Sunday early afternoon you can drive to the trailhead. Anticipate this will change next week.

Went looking for somewhere to ski without much luck. The snow felt good with adequate coverage around 1100m+ but no safe, accessible ski terrain. Not enough snow in the forest to go direct to the bowl on skis so we took the summer route. It was a bit convoluted getting through the bluffs after leaving Tennent Lake. The lake was still a bit thin to walk on. Triggered a 0.5 on myself (pictured) while walking below a north facing roll at around 1130m and turned around when we got to the steep section heading up to Sandbag. The exit sucked below the pipe-bridge. Needs another storm or two to be skiable.

Very distinct layers of snow: ~10 cms fresh, followed by ~25 cms of hard packed, and then extremely hard packed/ice that's difficult to dig into. There were many signs of heat effects on sunny slopes from previous warmer days. No new signs of heat effects. Some minor sluffing from the new snow on steeper slopes - natural and human triggered.

The snow started a bit below 1000m, skinnable from the lake to the top. Alpine had a bit of wind affected areas but mostly dust. A good 15cm on top of a hard/crusty slab which felt safe and solid to ski on. Amazing day out!

Snowshoed up Klitsa via the North Route. No snow until 1000m at the lake. Isothermal, thin, sporadic. At 1100m on the ridge in the alpine, thicker with a semi-supportive crust in the AM. Probably around a meter of pack but still thin in places. By the afternoon everything was starting to turn to mush. Fog in valley bottoms from an inversion.

What would you do for turns on VI? How far would you go? We made an attempt at Klitsa Mountain, via the Nahmint Main, on a bluebird February day. And we went as far we could (with the time we had). Access was clean and straightforward. We drove up to 700 m on a spur off the Nahmint Main. Snow coverage was patchy and mostly dirt thought the forest. We opted for soft boots and mountaineering gear. It was a classic Island approach to the Alpine, sweaty and muddy. As soon as you get to 1000 m, 50-100 cm of isothermal snow made travel interesting. Shaded areas still had a supportive crust by late afternoon. There is snow up high to slide on, getting at it is the tricky part!

Jan 23-25 spent at Hišimy̓awiƛ. Much of the approach to the hut was hiked, especially through the old growth. In many locations rain runnels were visible. Conditions were icy all over, and we skied areas in the sun. Surfaces were icy and firm, but some corn turns were found. Areas in which we bootpacked varied from getting a few inches into the snow to almost not leaving a mark. Lower down where the sun didn’t reach for as long was very icy and hard. Snow depth overall looked quite low, with many rock outcrops visible.

Trip report of 5040 hut, Dec30/2025-Jan 2/2026: Super rad couple days at the Hišimy̓awiƛ hut! We were able to drive up to ~7.5km (high clearance 4x4 vehicles. Snow up in the alpine was a breakable crust in the mornings of the 30/31/1, then softened up quite a bit to some nice coastal hot pow in the afternoons. Quite warm temps in the alpine (~5C) allowed for some awesome afternoon spring like skiing conditions. Lots of snow dropping from trees causing a lot of pinwheeling but no wet slides or natural avalanches were observed Snowpack is still pretty thin- didn’t measure but would guess about 120cm, so some sharks are still out lurking and some of the steeper chutes to the lake are not in. We found small isolated pockets of an approx 10-15 cm un reactive windslab on westerly slopes, which led to some awesome filled in snow in the mornings when everything else was crusty! Very warm, no overnight freeze on Jan 1 night. Was misting when we left the hut on Jan 2 morning. Snowpack was very heavy and very wet even before the sun warmed it at 8am. Beauty hut! Shoutout Stefan the hut steward for sneakily fixing my busted pole!!

We took advantage of our current (and rare these days) low elevation snow line for a tour up Mt Adder Mountain on a beautiful sunny New Year’s Day. Travel up the drainage in the old growth was decent, it was mashed potatoes until we got out of the canopy up high. At treeline and above, a 2 cm breakable crust is widespread on the surface. Ski quality was ok(ish). We did not see any signs of instability.

Traversed 5040 Peak to Adder Mountain on Sunday. 5cm fresh snow from Saturday. The day got progressively cloudy and windy with 2-3cm of snow falling during the day. Thick cloud made for difficult conditions navigating the alpine. Skier triggered cornice fall with chunks up to 1m^3 in size. Cornice was hanging on the north aspect of Adder’s summit ridge and caused minor propagation on the slope below (10m wide) and slid 30m.

Variable snow condtions. Minimal skier triggered pinwheeling noted only on south-facing slope. Some natural old cornice breaks. Overhead hazard remained our foremost concern. North facing slopes remained soft but not saturated/wet even in the afternoon soon. Shaded logging roads remained an Island "treat" on our descent.

Lots of overhead hazards as all the accumulated snow fell from the trees crusty snow up until 1100 metres elevation

We were turned around at Mt Crumble today, by active logging blocking the road. For the time being, Crumble is a no go. Ucona main was also extremely busy with active hauling.

With John’s mission to volunteer in the hut and replace some hardware, stove and other things, we started this trip up to 5040 Peak - Hišimy̓awiƛ hut We drove 4wd as far as we could on the logging road. 50cm of icy snow made the road hard to ski down. Around the 8km mark, there was the first steep section, with big ruts. It’d be worth stopping, and having a look before attempting. We parked approx 1.2km away (a bit before the last steep section) from the trailhead. The trail in the forest was surrounded by 50cm snow, so the walking terrain presents deep snow and very compressed icy parts. Some people snowshoed all the way up with no problems. Others needed to ski boot walk the first half of the trail, putting skins on where the trail opens into the alpine (half way more or less); from there to the lake, it was good, but hard to skin up the icy steep parts. We took the skis off to cross the stream near the lake, very close to the mouth, just above a small waterfall. Along the lake There was a final steeper section past the lake that we did in the dark. It got icy and slippery at the last steep push to the hut, the snowshoeing contingent took some of the skiers' bags to help them through. We had two amazing days of snowshoeing and skiing (plus the last day, skiing down from the hut to where the static ropes are), and transitioning to ski boots again. Snowshoers used snowshoes all the way through. About the snow conditions around and above the hut: The whole SE/S/SW faces present a layer of 8 cm to 25cm of very dense ice, probably from the latest arctic cold and sunny days. Some parts of the layer are hard surface hoar, and the core of it is now solid ice. All these faces present patches where the ice layer is at the surface, and others covered up with wind slabs (up to 35cm in lee slopes). We observed some old avalanche debris in some gullies and bowls. We skied and snowshoed above the hut, the gullies W and SW faces, and the bowls (best quality snow) above that. We also skied the bowls that face W and NW above the lake, where we found excellent snow. Gullies and bowls were better in the centers where we found the 15cm snow on top of the ice. Ski conditions were good thanks to the wind slabs, the small snowpack on top of the icy layer, and the sunny days melting a bit the crust. We tried to achieve 5040 peak, and traversing to the col was sketchy with ice at the surface above some icy gullies. The last part of the col was very icy and we needed to boot pack to the plateau. We decided to not try the summit nor do runs on faces E, NE because also they presented big surfaces of the icy layer. The snowpack then, is better described as: from 0-25 cm of wind blown snow on lee slopes on top of a solid ice layer of maximum density of 5-25cm. Below the icy layer we measured 120-160cm of soft snow. This will be very concerning for the next week: Any new snowpack on top, that is forecasted coming tomorrow Wednesday 17, Thursday 18 and Friday 19, it’s a problem in the short term. This snowpack is going to sit on top of a surface hoar that is a very dense icy layer. With the next rise of temperature on Friday and Saturday, there is forecasted rain, making that snowpack on top, a heavy snowpack sitting on top of a very icy dense layer!!! Be extremely careful above the hut, and in the last part of the walk below the lake on the steep faces.

Building on a destination we've only ever accessed on skis, we thought we'd push ourselves to punch a trail up the Crumble Mountain ridge on sleds today. Hard work in tricky coastal terrain! We made it to treeline before the clock got the better of us but the remainder looks very doable. As for conditions, we found 45 cm of beautiful, light, dry powder on all aspects (a bit heavier as the day warmed up), topped by a thin crust on sun-exposed slopes. The crust would have been quite friendly to skis as the day warmed. All this storm snow sat on a burly, 20 cm crust with moist to wet snow below it. The bond to the crust is good and this interface didn't pop out in our snowpack tests. A 30 cm-deep mid-storm interface did however give minimal (moderate, resistant) results. All in all we were stoked to find this awesome powder sitting and waiting for us after recent cool temps and we're thinking a bit about the potential for wind slab formation if a strong enough wind gets at the snow that isn't stuck beneath surface crust. Gold River direct radio channel should be used on the Ucona Main, which has a bunch of work rigs scattered along it.

35cm+ of fresh snow fell Friday / Friday night and seemed to be bonding to the crust below pretty well. A natural avalanche cycle occurred sometime Friday night and numerous sz 1 slides were noted on our ascent on steep terrain (>45degrees). See pic for example. Skier triggered sz 1 slides on in the North facing bowl Saturday in predictable steep terrain. Access is skinnable above 600m elevation. By mid afternoon snow was becoming heavy on sun exposed slopes below 1200m.

With the storm forecasted to hit the west coast hard, we had to go check it out. Upon arriving at Sutton pass the rain switched to snow, much to our delight. The sled ride up was quite wet, we parked around 900 m, changed to a dry shell, and headed up on foot. The initial skin up was quite tricky with the 5-15 cm of new snow sliding off the hard crust underneath in the steep terrain. We climbed up to the subpeak north of Adder and dug a pit. We found that there was 15-35 cm of new snow on the ridge that had no bond to the crust below. Beneath this crust the snowpack is the consistency of a slushy. On our ski down we found the storm slab was very touchy and quick to slide away. In some spots where the crust was less firm, perhaps where the snow was still soft from sun affect when the storm began, there was a bond to the crust but the slab was failing 5 cm above it. The ski down was tough, anything that had enough new snow immediately slid away, where there was less new snow the crust and debris underneath was challenging. It was still snowing hard when we left, looks like there is more to come.

We ventured West to Mt Crumble to get an idea of how much new snow had fallen over the weekend on the wetter parts of the Island. Snow line for sled or ski travel was roughly 450 m and quickly deepened with elevation. We ascended to 1150 m on to Crumble Ridge and we observed no new or recent avalanches. 30 cm fell over the weekend that seems to be bonding well to the snow below but we did coax a few chunks of storm slab from steep pillows on our descent but with extremely limited propagation and we had no significant results in our snowpack tests. Winds up high were likely blowing much harder than in our area and probably building wind slabs at higher elevations. The snow height was ~275 cm at treeline and overall ski quality was excellent! Well worth the trip.

We will were feeling ambitious today so we thought we would go storm hunting to have tea at the 5040 Hut. Snow line was to the highway, we sledded to the trail headed from there but some adventurous drivers punched their vehicles 4km up the Marion Main. From there it was a steep boot pack up to the shoulder where we could put skins on. All aspects that have received sun over the last couple days had a 1-3cm breakable sun crust, making the skiing and skinning difficult in places. On shaded aspects creamy turn were still to be had for all. At alpine and tree line a loose wet cycle has occurred on steep solar slopes. As with the rest of the Island, the wind effect is evident from the last storm cycle.

Island Alpine Guides trip up Myra today. Moderate to strong south winds and poor visibility kept us at tree line and below. Moderate snowfall and the winds contributed to quickly developing 20-40cm thick windslab in immediate lee features that was reactive to skier traffic where the terrain was convex and unsupported. Avoided all big features in this treeline elevation band. Anywhere out of the ridge top wind had 20-30cm of low density powder over very supportive crust.

Highly variable conditions up Klitsa. Access via Sproat Lake. Alpine was very wind affected. Reverse loading observed but seemed to be pretty well bonded to crust. Good turns x5. Rest was pretty terrible.

Temps remained above 0 over the past 72 hours. Following Friday’s monsoon we were socked in aside from a short 1h window where views were great and the sun came out. No human triggered slides. Small natural slides occurred on steep slopes likely pinwheel triggered.

Checked out conditions at Mount Adder. Skinned to the top of cut block/logging road (850 metres) from the highway (160metres). There was snow from the highway. Rained the entire way until the last 50m of elevation with some wet flurries. We stayed on the logging road the entire time, coverage in surrounding areas was not great. Snow was very heavy with surface crust forming on higher elevations.

We went to Myra today to check out the snow in the west and to try to get some eyes on the alpine. It was a nice change of pace to have the snow connect from Tennant lake to the bottom with only a couple of precarious creek crossings. The alder is still out in full force on the road, with a snowpack of about 50cm at the trail head and around 95cm just above the lake. We could feel the above freezing layers while heading up the trail in the morning, but by afternoon it was much warmer down below. We enjoyed the built-in cooling system on our way up the trail by way of tree bombs and dripping from the branches. Above 850m the snow remained dry today, while below that the surface became moist and the snow was much heavier. For early season safety's sake, we stayed off the lake. We dug a pit just above the lake and got a hard sudden planar result down 70cm on the 10-25mm buried surface hoar, but did not see the same results in an extended column test. Sitting on top of our most recent storm snow is some new surface hoar that is about 6-10mm in size. We did not find any of the facets that have been evident in the east and the north zones near ground level. The top 20 cm of snow is still quite light for excellent skiing, but a little bit of effort for trail breaking. On directly solar south facing aspects, there was a 5cm surface crust sitting under the surface hoar.

Observed several 3-4 big loose slides off the south aspect of Adder as we were ascending jack's between 10 and 11. Chose not to go up Adder and stayed on north side of Jack's. Snow on jack's was approx. 10-15cm of fresh on top of crust. Bond to crust was poor in the morning but improved rapidly through the day. In the morning it was sloughing off the crust easily and not forming slabs. By 2 it was wet and heavy and sticking to everything! In the afternoon fresh precipitation was falling as hail/graupel. Snow line started about 500m in the morning. Skins on at 600m. In the afternoon there was a dusting of snow on the ground back to the valley.

Wonderful sunny day up on Mt Myra in Strathcona Park. The snow was not so amazing as a widespread hard and deep crust made for some very icy firm turns. Even the sunny skies could not penetrate or soften the crust enough on solar aspects to make the touring comfy. Just great to be outside with friends but watch the steeps as the firm surface is treacherous.

Overnight lows (-3) froze the snowpack but the sun and warm temps managed to soften up slopes with direct sun exposure for nice corn skiing. Many pin wheels. No new avalanches observed.

Hard surface (sometimes boot penetration, sometimes not) unless on sun affected slope where top 5cm became soft. Signs of multiple size 1 avalanches in previous snow cycle. Pin wheeling observed in the afternoon 2.75m depth ivo hut

Some type 2 fun scratching our way up and down Adder today! Memorable might be the nicest way to describe the skiing we experienced. Glancing rays from the January sun weren't quite enough to soften up alpine surfaces for our 2pm descent and the least heinous turns may have actually been in the pine needle and stick-peppered forest floor where the canopy had insulated the snow surface enough to keep things soft. Avalanches are definitely not a concern right now!

Freezing level was down quite low compared to previous weeks, and 15-20cm of powder fell Saturday night thru Sunday at elevations above 300m in the Nahmint Valley. Above 1000m, the storm slab was very reactive to skiers weight, especially on convex southwestern aspects. See photo of minor slide (size <1) triggered by one of us on a small terrain feature. Ski quality was great at treeline and into the low alpine, lightest powder we've had all season. Still very icy and solid under the trees below 1000m.

The powder party may be over, but we still had a fun day out exploring around Sutton Pass. The good news is that we found about 120 cm of snow at 600 m. The bad news is that it's been soaked by rain and warm temperatures.

Wet surface snow from below treeline to ~1100 m. Higher elevations had a harder, wind affected crust. Snow line is quite high on S aspects ~800m, so the approach was quite the bootpack (hiking shoes recommended!!). We saw evidence of loose wet debris starting from rocky terrain on steeper slopes. It was likely a few days old. Since the snow was solid, our main concern was slipping on harder crusts above cliffs.

Did the 5040-Adder traverse as a day trip. Overnight freeze caused the snow to be very firm in the morning. Sun exposed aspects softened by 9am and all aspects by noon. Air temps to ~20degrees in the afternoon. Snow was isothermal. Many smaller skier caused wet slides while skiing and skinning on steeper slopes. Snow depth at Adder-Jacks Col (1000m) 1.8m Snow depth at 5040 North aspect 1150m 3.5m

Spring conditions were in full effect at 5040 this week. Overnight temps on Monday and Tuesday dropped below freezing, with temperatures well above 10C throughout the day. A surface crust melted late in the morning, making for some very moist, but enjoyable riding conditions mid-day. By late afternoon, the snow became completely wet, making uphill travel challenging. While setting a skin track on a steep west-facing slope, we set off a couple size 0.5 wet-loose slabs. Snowline starts around the bluff, halfway up to Cobalt Lake. Still lots of snow up at the hut.

A classic island ski day. Skied the North Gully of Klitsa. Skins on at about 800m. Was out the whole day and saw no active wet slides, just evidence of old ones. Skiing in the gully was nightmare-ish. Had probably slid at the beginning of the last warming/sunny period and the debris had formed into nice basketball-sized ice chunks. Walked the bottom 100m of the Gully just to get out. The choke point is about 5 feet wide right now so probably about another week before you can't ski top to bottom, get out there if ur keen for some serious type 2 fun. I'll certainly be waiting until next winter to go back.

Summary of conditions at 5040 peak 22-24 Feb: Ascended 22 Feb in torrential downpour. Snowpack (and us) soaked from valley bottom to summit. Strong winds from the SW. Many natural sz 1 slides on step slopes appeared to have occurred the night prior when the snow transitioned to rain around Cobalt Lake. 23 Feb saw continuing rains but at a much reduced rate. Rains let up around noon. Heavy wet snow / rain started up at 4pm and into the night. ~10cm of wet snow by the morning of the 24th. Strong to extreme winds from the SW on ridge tops. Skier supportive crust above 1300m. Sloppy coastal oatmeal below on the 24th. Strong to extreme winds from the SW on ridge tops. Heavy snowfall began at 1pm mixed with rain. Water pooling atop lake ice (see triple peak lake image) and many open creeks below 1200m.

Spent Sunday to Tuesday at 5040 with good company! Saturday overnight into Sunday deposited roughly 50cm of storm snow, dry at first then progressively settling into a slab as temperatures rose. On Monday trees were shedding the snow on their shoulders generating significant pinwheeling even as early as 9am. By noon it was 8 degrees at the hut. Cornices had developed on the 5040 ridge line from south to southwest aspects and the entire bowl was very obviously wind loaded. Skiing in the morning was on a supportive crust and provided fun fast turns. We skied from the summit down the south face over where the group ahead of us had ski cut, then down benches to the lake. An evening lap provided very heavy and wet turns just above the hut on a supported ramp from the col, southwest aspect. By Tuesday morning it was gusting strong winds and raining at the hut. The ski out was treacherous on a saturated, heavy snowpack. Temps at 8am were 2 degrees. Did not seem like much of an overnight freeze, though hard to tell because of the rain. Avalanche obs: A group ski cut an isolated feature in the alpine at ridgetop, south aspect, which resulted in a sz 2 windslab avalanche. It propagated out of the gully type feature along the bottom of a rock band and across the next gully feature which resulted in a larger windslab avalanche than typically expected out of a feature that size (see photo). Likely slid on a layer of facets given the current snowpack and its propagation through multiple terrain features. Ran to bottom of runout and partially down another gully off the bench. Also noted a size 2 natural wind slab on a loaded feature across the bowl (see photos) likely from Sunday as a group at the hut noted hearing an avalanche but could not see given the visibility. Southwest aspect in the alpine. Next to that avalanche was another Na sz 1.5 windslab, stopped midway down the track. On the northeast side of the mountain, from the summit, we noticed the debris of a likely size 2.5 windslab propagating far on a cross loaded convex roll, natural. Multiple dry loose avalanches out of steep terrain. Overall a great weekend in the hut thanks to the snacks, whiskey, and company… if you forgot a phone up there email me at [email protected] and I’ll get it back to you!

Headed to Adder today, skin track highway is in. Beautiful sunny conditions with only the lightest of winds made for a great day out. Widespread surface hoar is found at treeline and below for the next storm Surface snow is facetted making for great 'powder turns' in untouched areas. No new.wind affect or signs of instability Get adder!

Lots of fun skiing on beautifully preserved snow (having to avoid wind affected areas) - we encountered powder all the way to the valley bottom. The January crust was evident 30-60 cm down wherever we looked but couldn’t get anything to move. Signs of slab avalanches from last week on west end north aspects.

Skinned up Quatchka Peak (aka Matchlee N4) on ~30cm of really nice dry powder from valley bottom to the alpine. No avalanche activity observed today. There were signs of previous slides (sz 1) on steep north facing slopes. No surface hoar. No tree bombing above 800m. Minor wind loading on north slopes above 1350m. Snow was becoming moist below 800m on sun exposed slopes during our descent in the afternoon. 2cm of snow fell Friday night in the area. Ucona Main was snow covered right from Gold River. And had up to 40cm of snow by 400m elevation.

5040 hut trip from Jan 30 to Feb 1. Conditions heading up to the hut on Jan 30 were crusty and icy. Crampons were the best tool for the way up. The next day on Jan 31 we saw 25cm of new heavy powder at the hut elevation. Evidence of new slides on alpine slopes on most aspects. We rode in dense trees and had fun heavy powder conditions. Temperature 0 degrees at hut (1300m). Feb 1 saw lower temperatures of -10 at the hut. New 15cm of light powder had fallen overnight. Fun riding conditions on trail back down to logging road. Snow line considerably lower than our first day.

Another storm blew through bringing more heavy wet snow. Last night the temps didn't get cold enough to form a crust. This lead to very deep skiing and skinning today with the added snow (~15cm as of 6pm). Due to high winds from the SW and dense cloud, we avoided the alpine and skied treeline and below to 1050m. Upper snowpack is very heavy. No skier triggered or natural slides observed, but pinwheeling was prevalent at the elevation we skied.

Another storm came through today starting at 10am bringing high winds (~60km/h) from the SW and heavy snow (~25cm). The snow stopped at 4pm and transitioned to a heavy mist which has started to soak the upper snowpack. Storm skiing was great in sheltered terrain below the alpine between 1350m and 990m elevation. Despite being heavy, the new snow was fun to ski. Numerous sz 1 slides were triggered on North slopes. The slides weren't propagating to lower layers, but instead sliding on last night's freeze crust and were only composed of today's storm slab. Biggest slide had a 30cm crown, 30m width, and ran 100m. Probed 2.3m @1130m elevation on North slope.
