Looking for Snow (February)

We got out into the snow only a few times this year.

Few shots from our ski tour a week ago around Table Mt near Mt Baker. Skates or micro-spikes would have been better tools for the task than skis. But it is still a great tour with amazing views.

Surprise! We found some snow. 15 cm fresh at 1600m (Gold Run Pass). Skiing would have been fine for about 100 vertical meter (and before sun and wind made a mess). But we were late and without skis. Still nice to get out in the snow. No snow at all at the trail head at 1100m.

One day of cross country skiing at Lac La Hache.

No Snow Winter 2014/15

The 'snow water equivalent' graphs show the story of this winter: virtually no snow below 1500 meter. Low to average snowpack higher up in the alpine and in the Interior.
