No snow on road until you reach Red Heather.

20 to 30 cm snow up the slope from Red Heather to Paul Ridge; lots of small trees, rocks, logs, running streams.

30+ along ridge on summer route to Elfin; hard packed on track, so no snowshoes required; not good skinning conditions; a few rocks hiding along the way.

2 snowboarders sneaking in a few turns up on the ridge. 2 skiers came back on the winter route; route not set by BC Parks yet; not favorable conditions (maybe fun if you have "rock skis" and just can't wait to get out).

Rain crust at approx. depth 25cm.
