I am planning a trip for next weekend and am wondering how the snow conditions are? Avalanche probability on the upper lake? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
Forster Creek/Radium
- Thread starter wwb
- Start date
weather has been great, daytime average around 0 to + 4. Mornings have been cold-10 on the mountain.
It has been snowing up there, Sunday it dumped
.
Always avy danger, most of the big stuff has come down but use common sense.
The last pic looks like it was from the glacier???
The catamount glacier is closed to sleds ( anywhere on the west side of the valley). The forsetry chopper was out last weekend chasing guys off. They can fine you if they want, be careful.

That was the first time I've been up Forster - I don't think we were anywhere illegal, certainly not by intention and we didn't see any signs. How do we know where the boundaries are, are they signed or is there a map available? There was a well beaten path to where the photo was taken, I just walked off the trail a few yards to avoid sled tracks in the photo.

There used to be a sign with a map of the closed areas at the gas drop area, I was up there last week and it was gone????
There also used to be signs on the trail going up there but they are gone as well.
Defiantely lots of tracks up there, and it is easy to just follow the leader.

last saturday about a foot of fresh was pretty tracked up by end of day. It has been socked in all week so you can bet it has some new up there. Trail is groomed on Thursday evening, if no one is collecting fees it is apperciated if trail use fee ($ 10.00) is put into box so that grooming continues

Thanks for the info, fee's will always be paid when we ride. It's a great perk to have a nice trail to come back on after a great day of riding.
Thanks; noturn.
