The trail was mostly dry until several hundred meters from the first meadows in the bowl. As we approached we encountered pockets of snow and eventually past the meadows snow was mostly steady, however the ridge walking up top was clear of snow on the south face. We did not bring snowshoes and it was ok going.

The road to Baldy (Fraser Flats) It's open. They're working back in there, however CN requires it locked when contractor is not working in the area as per the crossing agreement. Likely open during the week while they are working but may be closed on weekends or longer periods when the contractor is not actively working. Best to expect it to be locked on the weekends just in case

While at Fang yesterday, a rock slide occurred above the trail between km 2 and 2.5. A piece of the mountain fell off and landed on the trail right where you pop out of the trees to traverse scree slopes. The debris scrubbed most of the scree exposing rock slabs and taking out trees. My partner and I did not venture out underneath where the slide occurred and do not know how supportive the remaining material over the rock slabs is. A good alternative for accessing Fang is Torpy Trail

Good to go and beyond.

Trail is clear of snow, drive 3 km up the road to the trailhead.

Raven Lake June 6th conditions: still snow on 70% of the trail in. Snow shoes weren’t essential, u can walk on top of the solid snow. Still some crusty corn skiing above the lake.

Access to the Fang (and The Farm) Trailheads are good to go, road is clear, please remember to bring a radio as there is a lot of traffic on the Pass Lake FSR for the first 18 km

The Gleason FSR is washed out a few km down the Gleason after the McGregor Bridge

Trail is mostly gone but wasn't too far to get to the falls, we put a ribbon on the main road showing the best spot to hike down to the falls to minimize bushwacking

Trail is clear and dry but bugs are out in full force so dress appropriately or donate blood, your choice!

Trail is a little muddy in places but the bugs are out in full force

Dry for first 1.5km then snow shoes necessary. Soft snow transitioning to hard packed at higher elevations.

Trail has loads of blowdown, 50+ trees up to Rockingham Creek Camp, no snowshoes required to Rockingham, but they are needed shortly after and snow was rotten until final ascent to the upper lake at camp #2

Had to walk in about 600 m from trailhead as road still snowed in. Snow was like hiking up a mash potato mountain all the way so took 3.5 hours up and 2.5 down. Snow crust is weak except at the meadow. We were the first ones up in a while and ++ rain so had to really watch for the markers to find our way. But there is a trail broken now

Drive to the trailhead was no problem with a minivan, the road just past the trailhead is snow covered and slushy but easy to turn around at the trailhead though a little muddy. The trail itself is mostly clear of snow/ice with a little bit near the start of the trail in the flat shady area, otherwise clear the rest of the way.

The majority of the trail is snow-free, except for the first 400m. You have to park 100m before the Crooked River bridge (for now).
The FSR Road in is in good shape.
Now head out to Teapot and hike your ass off before the mosquitos arrive!

There was snow right from the trailhead, and while you do not require snowshoes for the first 3 km, the snow conditions were mushy in places and slippery making snowshoes a good idea. 7 people in 3 different groups packed the trail up to the cabin, snow is getting soft and sticky this time of year.

Wineglass Falls and Pinnacles Park today around Quesnel. Both basically snow free, but the last kilometer of the road to Wineglass was quite muddy and rutted.

First 3.5k no snow shoes, then persistent snow after that all the way to the lookout, trail is broken to the summit

Viking Ridge is icy for the first 1.5 km, Sugarbowl is terrible for its first 2 km, both require microspikes or snowshoes to grip on the ice, Sugarbowl is especially treacherous!

Snow conditions at the crossover were excellent, a little soft but good grip on the snow and we were able to move easily across the ridges, including going down Sugarbowl mountain.

The trail is in decent condition with the first km having icy spots requiring micro spikes or snowshoes. There is constant snow on the entire trail and VERY deep snow up in the meadows and beyond. A couple packed the trail all the way to the summit as I spoke with them in the meadows and could see their tracks all the way up. I only hiked to the meadows, then to the rock bluff lookout.

Trail is mostly clear with some sections of mud, water and snow.

The trail was mostly clear, we didn't need snowshoes or micro spikes but some sections could use micro spikes for those with poor balance.

Trail is very clear, a few spots a bit icy but cleats not needed. A few trees down requiring a chainsaw. We cleared a couple spots with a hand saw. Once it warmed up some greasy mud spots. Overall good conditions.

Majority of the trail was ice/packed snow in the trees with the open areas having deeper snow on a packed trail. Snowshoes not needed but cleats recommended.

The trail is snowshoe packed to the viewpoint in the meadows. The trail was post holed the first 2 km. Dark clouds and windy conditions made us decide to head over to the side lookout toward Baldy which was covered in more storm clouds so we headed back to the trailhead.

We packed about 4 km around the homestead area and the fields following the edge of the Fraser and doing a large loop back to the homestead. Snow conditions were not bad.

The Caine Creek FSR is not plowed this winter so that would require 3.5 km one way packing trail to get to the trailhead.

PAcked the trail to the first lookout, then down to the cave, then up the bushwack gulley from the cave back to the road, and then to the top picnic table!

Trail was mostly clear of snow for first 2 km but also had lots of post holing. We cut a trail through the steep narrow trail with out snowshoes and it should be noted the last several hundred meters are avalanche terrain and somewhat terrifying to cross. Make sure avy forecast and weather conditions are in your favour before trying this summit.

A group hiked to the Red Mt Cabin and did first 3-4 km without snowshoes it was so hardpacked. They put them on as soon as they left footprints Weather was nice and views were lovely

Packed and icy trial for first 0.75 km, then mostly snow free and dry for remaining 5 km.

The trail was mostly clear with sections having very slippery ice and some snow. Microspikes are definitely recommended. We hiked 10 km (20 km round trip) and conditions we surprisingly clear for February

Snow Conditions were exceptional, the road is plowed all the way to the trailhead (just past the 2 km sign) and there is a pullout on the left to park right where the ribbon is visible at the trailhead. We added ribbons at the first section of trail when the existing ribbons stopped, in order to help others see where the trail goes. At this point the trail has ribbons all the way into the alpine

Trail conditions were absolutely perfect. Crusty snow meant walking mostly on top of the crusty layer. We were able to do an afternoon summit, just before the sun set, get out there while conditions are this great!

Managed to make it to the Zigzag Ridge on a beautiful day with ideal conditions. I wouldn't say it was easy but it sure wasn't that tough.

We packed the trail from the Huble homestead road to the Tae Creek bridge. The snow conditions were not good and the crusty layer was only supportive sometimes. The local Moose post holed much of the rail making it hard to walk flat, but we persevered and now the trail is packed end to end since we packed the north end a week ago.

The road to the upper parking lot is well plowed and plenty of room for parking.

Broke trail the whole way, got off track a time of two but we found our way. Beautiful day

Beautiful morning out at Ferguson Lake. Trails are packed, a couple slippery sections due to the warm weather but nothing unmanageable.

Lower hixon falls broke trail in

Beautiful day snow shoeing!

Willie Nelson (my dog) and I would like to thank the people (heroes) who blazed the trail at Viking Ridge. We appreciate your hard work!

Kinney Lake trail is packed well enough to go just in boots until Kinney campground! Temps -3 to 0 midday today along the trail. Enjoy before the warmer temps soften the trail

Coburn trail this past Saturday with these lovelies

Great day at Garvin Canyon!! Mother natures winter wonderland

Does it count if we're on the clock?! Took a trek down to clean off some roofs on Friday. The buildings are closed for the winter, but the grounds are always open!

A beautiful day snowshoeing Pilot Mountain ..winter wonderland !

Broke Trail to the Mount Pope Summit!
Fresh powder, beautiful scenery, blue skies, quiet forest vibes and gorgeous sunshine.
🌲❄️❄️☀️❄️❄️🌲
Today was yet another reminder of why we’re so lucky to live in Prince George. Our community and region is one gigantic winter paradise and playground.
Awesome to see so many people in this group embracing how special winter is in Northern British Columbia!

We went up on Saturday. You have to park at the first gate and snowshoe in. We broke trail all the way to the top. There is lots of snow up there!

The trail was mostly dry until several hundred meters from the first meadows in the bowl.
