Visited Slim Creek in the Southern Chilcotin Mountains from the 7th through 
12th of this month. On the 9th/10th it snowed down to 5000'.  About 20cm 
accumulated at tree line and near ridge tops drifts were near a meter deep.  
Much of this snow was still present yesterday morning.  About access: The Slim 
Creek Main has been upgraded as has the bridge at 5000'.  The road is drivable 
for 2wd (cars height) to the bridge. The last 1.5km is a little rutted and 
ditched (need a large wheeled vehicle; vans work). The road ends at about 397 
910 92 j/14 (NAD 27) About 3.25 hrs north of Whistler if you take the Hurley 
Pass road, a trail goes up valley from there.  A great place to guide clients 
who are looking for open meadows, small glaciers and scrambling peaks to 8500'.
