"I received a report this afternoon from a neighbour who tried to go up Crest Mountain (Thursday 9, 2011) that he found snow at about 1,000 metre level; it was not soft but like hard ice so he could go no farther as he did not have crampons."

Report from Buttle Hut
The Buttle Lake Information Hut operated by Strathcona Wilderness Institute will be opening this coming weekend - starting Friday at 3 pm. Gerry Roberts who staffs the hut has already received a report of hiking conditions from the Crest Mountain Trail.
"I received a report this afternoon from a neighbour who tried to go up Crest Mountain (Thursday 9, 2011) that he found snow at about 1,000 metre level; it was not soft but like hard ice so he could go no farther as he did not have crampons."
If you plan on hiking around the Buttle Lake area of Strathcona Park, stop in & see Gerry for information. (On the Westmin Rd: go 200m past the bridge where Hwy. 28 to Gold River turns west). See map here.
