Conditions Report: Back to Pow!
The powder has returned and things are shaping up nicely in Golden BC for an excellent weekend of snowmobiling. We’ve had 25cm of new snow and there’s another 35cm in the forecast. Avalanche conditions have spiked so please adjust your paths accordingly.
How it’s Been
We’re excited to get back to powder. After an extended high pressure system the clouds and snow are back and things are filling in nicely.

Snow and Weather
We’ve had no less than 25cm this week and there’s another 30+ cm in the forecast.
You never really know how a day in the mountains will go unless you’re there, but Snow-Forecast.com can give you an idea.
Avalanche Conditions
Check out avalanche bulletins each time you go. They’re updated daily and conditions can change quickly. If you can ride in the mountains you’re probably travelling in avalanche terrain. Please be careful and submit what you see to the MIN Network.

Quartz Creek
The riding above the cabin has been great early season riding. There has been a lot of traffic in Quartz so expect the easy to get to ares to be compacted.
PLEASE STAY OUT OF THE PARKS! Please don’t sled past a sign and in to the National Park. We got called this week from Parks Canada and they are going to up their enforcement in the area.
Please don’t sled past the National Park boundary signs.
Gorman Lake

We are going to try and get Silent groomed on Friday. The parking lot will be at the 21km.
Word is that the approach in to the zone is really rough.
