Drove back from the coast over the past couple of days. We climbed Yak Peak on a hot day Sunday and it was all dry even though there was a spot of snow on the summit of Whistler Mountain the day before. The Selkirks are looking drier than I would have thought although the north aspects are quite snowy down to glacier level, but Tupper is totally dry and the Rogers/Swiss Peaks area looks good too, Uto looks climbable with some snow on the ledges and even Sir D almost looks climbable but I wouldn't bother with that one. The Rockies are also looking pretty dry on the south aspects and fairly snowy on the norths. Certainly things like Castle are dry.
This could all change of course if the forecast holds true: the coast is supposed to get hammered later this week, with rain also in the Selkirks and showers in the Rockies. So get out there in the next day or so! Mark Klassen Mountain Guide
