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!

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!

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

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 north end of the trail is snowshoe packed from Summit Lake to the Tae Creek bridge, snow conditions were quite challenging but on the way back the trail was well packed and the going was very good as the snow was settling.

An amazing and challenging day breaking trail snowshoeing Viking Ridge.

We snowshoe packed within 100 meters of the meadows, this was one of the most brutal snowshoes i’ve ever done as the snow was deep the whole way and breaking trail was very hard, but rewarding and fun!

Eskers long trail

A different dog pack today! Livingstone Springs was beautiful with my furbabies Cruz and Fernie, niece Daisy, and Archer. An easy 4.35km in with very little elevation gain, well packed but new snow is coming.

Longworth Lookout without the lookout! Was a high risk avalanche day so turned around well before things got too risky. Was still an absolute blast and a great workout.

A group of 5 blazed the trail up to the lookout on Driscoll Ridge today. No views at the top but that’s not always the point😉 Get out and explore!!

We packed the short 7km trail, snow levels are very low and you may not need snowshoes

New Years Day hike! Found the tallest tree on the Ferguson Lake trail walk 😊

Pilot Mountain Snowshoe to start 2026

We snowshoe packed the trail to the Fraser, but didn’t turn at the right spot to head down the banks of the Fraser further. Kenneth Creek was crossable but had sections showing water and other sections frozen over.

We snowshoe packed the trail into Garvins Canyon but made an extended 6 km loop by heading back to the trail via the south trail loop

Headed to Longworth Lookout Saturday morning, temps dropped as low as -36 on our drive out. -30 at the trail head🥶 Beautiful blue skies on the hike up, and then gale force blizzard all night. Much apprehension about coming down the peak – ended up bum sliding a section. Once off the peak the winds dropped and light snow most of the way down. About 10-15 cm fresh snow overnight.

Trailblazed/ snowshoed Tacheeda lookout trail today. It was a slog. Most of the trail was thigh high bottomless powder. Took us 6:45 and decided to turn back the last 400m to the lookout cause we ran out of daylight. Bit of a sufferfest for sure. Get out there and finish what we couldn’t !

The trail had a light amount of snow but we did not require snowshoes. It is a good idea to wear micro spikes as sections of the trail are icy with very little snow covering the ice. We hiked the entire loop and a few side trails.

We hiked the short loop and did not require snowshoes, trail keeps getting better each time we hike it! Lots of ribbons in tricky areas, but trail is not perfect.

The trail was explored for 15.5 km and tracked to show a long loop around the whole area, up to Cale Creek, down to the Fraser River and back. Snow was light and some sections were icy and slippery but no snowshoes required yet.

We hiked the trail on the short loop (8.5 km) with sections of light covered snow and bare sections. We made our way down to the Fraser River with beautiful views of the ice flows.

Trail had some snow and ice but also a lot of bare sections, no snowshoes were required, micro spikes might be useful.

The trail has snow from bottom to top with slightly increasing amounts at the top. We did not need to wear snowshoes but micro spikes were key due to several icy/steep sections.

Anyone have any info on Pass Lake FSR conditions? Is it being plowed? How far?

Reples:
Not plowed but drivable 4×4
It will only be plowed to km 18 this winter.
Headed out Torpy direction yesterday, looks like Pass Lake is only being plowed till 12km(cargill FSR) this year. After that the road is barely drivable, 1 more snow fall and that would probably be it for driving. Awesome snow up high if you can get to it!

Mt Pope today was pretty socked in at top. But still a great day adventuring with people. We brought our snowshoes along for the hike …they need to get out and adventure too right?? but they weren’t needed. Our motto better safe the sorry After 4km marker snow was deeper bit soft but we didn’t post hole at all. Hair definitely got frosty lol

The trail was dry with a small dust of snow that is hardly noticeable. We hiked 14 km to Camp and Kathy Lakes then back for the full ‘friendship’ loop

No snowshoes required until the meadows, snow levels are VERY low as of this hike date. We were able to summit in good conditions and the trail is packed all the way to the summit.

Access to the trailhead is still reasonable although light snow has made conditions more slippery. We hiked this trail in light snow conditions and did not require snowshoes, but microspikes may be advisable for the steeper sections.

We hiked to the Fraser and all the way to the steam boat pin anchor and conditions were pretty dry overall. The road had the usual ruts and water holes but nothing out of the ordinary… no snow.

Light snow has covered the Davie Lake FSR from Hwy 97 to the trailhead as well as the covering the entire trail.

Access to the trail is likely going to be impassable within a week or two as more snow covers the road to the trailhead

The road into the Teapot trailhead has very light snow but was still accessible by a regular car as of this report. We hiked the bar trail and did not need to use microspikes, conditions were great and views were excellent.
