Still a lot of snow in the Selkirks, and recent fresh snow from the past two
days of poor weather. Skiing would be spring-like but probably acceptable at
the higher elevations. Getting out of the valley bottoms would be an effort,
and would require some skis off hiking.
The west facing routes on Mt. Macdonald and Tupper are starting to bare off,
and should be climbable within a couple weeks if the weather warms up.
Avalanches are still a very real concern, especially if the temeratures climb
into the teens in the alpine. There are very recent and very large avalanches
down in the paths facing the highway in Glacier Park, some running to near
valley bottom. If you do head out into the mountains, remember that you need
to get back home early to avoid the afternoon avalanche cycle.
The rock climbing in Revelstoke is fabulous, when it's not raining.
