Who's been riding lately and where is rideable... anything on the Shore? SFU maybe (yeah I know, NS thread only but I'm deperate)

Only 129cm base on Whist...an early DH park season perhaps... one can hope and yes, I love snowboarding too but Ive all but given up on Whist for this season.

I was up at seymour last weekend for some boading in my t-shirt and I stopped to check out the CBC trailhead and there was still plenty of snow, but that was a week ago.

"i think most of fromme is ridable" - Nice random guess



Fromme - On Fromme Natural High, the lowest trail off the fireroad, has 2-3 feet of snow on it atm. There is a compacted path of ice down the ride around lines but I would consider them dangerous at best. I won't even get into the conditions of the woodwork.

Cypress is an ice rink. Family guy, what was the lowest trail on the hill, has been destroyed by the housing construction. Everything above that has anywhere from 6-8 feet on snow on it.

Seymour - Neds has a 1-2 foot clear path running down the center of it but that's about the only trail worth the attempt.

Does anybody know what are the actual conditions in the North Shore, and if there is anything ridable?

what about lower fromme

Lower Fromme:

Everything on the east side (Natural High, Upper Griffin, Floppy Bunny, Bobsled) all have 3"-6" of snow. Stuff is ride-able but not really worth the effort. The south side below the Baden Powell is mostly clear of snow but is difficult to access. Seymour is the better choice if you going to ride.
