Perhaps a stupid question, but have a few hours this afternoon and was hoping to do a quick skin up Seymour. Is this possible this year, given the low snow depth?
Cheers :beer:
Seymour snow conditions, winter 2014-15
Let us know how it goes please. I'd take old beater skins and skis for sure.
I hiked up this morning to first pump. if you stayed on the runs (which are not open) you would be fine.
the backcountry access is boney and icy

how long did it take you to hike up?
We don't know what our limits are, so to start something with the idea of being limited actually ends up limiting us.

not sure probably 75 -99 minutes but we took the summer route which is kind of out of they way

so walking up the ski run maybe an hour or less?

if your going to where we usually have a fire its probably an hour or a bit more with a pack full of wood.
last year we pushed a toboggan of wood up which was more fun on the way down after a few beers

Thanks for the update! Planning on doing some after work laps once coverage gets better.
I have no filter …
I thought Id bump this just in case there were any updates.. tho I dont suspect much has changed.
Report from last week here: http://www.backcountrytalk.earnyourturns.com/vb/showthread.php?1398-2014-15-Coast-Mountain-Conditions[HTML_REMOVED]p=23293#post23293
Yeah that was the last report I could find. Just thought I'd see if there had been anything since… but I guess not much will have changed.
