Spent the past week in South BC. Looks like the Salmo-Creston had loads of snow, I was pretty tempted to make a stop. But I had no partner.
Skied Whitewater- hiked actually- up to Catch Basin. Knee deep blower the whole way down. Best skiing I've done in a while.
Sledded up at 6 mile- across the orange bridge in Nelson. The local sled shop was nice enough to hook me up with some locals. Find six mile road, drive up, park where you're comfortable and off you go. Bagged a peak- about 7000ft. I forget the name of it but you can see the Valhalla and the Kokanee Glacier ranges. Some pretty tricky sections getting up there, we were the first to set tracks, a few fallen trees to negotiate. Tons of switchbacks on the logging road, didn't veer too far from it when we got up into the bowl/alpine area. Avy danger 'Considerable'.
Did about 100km on 28L of fuel. My M7 burnt as much gas as all the others out there, didn't feel too bad. I'll get her tuned up when I get back to Nelson.
