After being turned around on the Elk main due to active forestry work, we braved the atmospheric river and headed out on sleds toward Mount Drabble. We kept our travel below treeline due to the high avalanche danger and spent the day sharpening our rescue skills. We drove up the Strathcona Parkway and parked at the 9 km pullout before setting out along the road to investigate the rain line. What we found was rain, rain, and some more rain. The ~20 cm of recent snowfall has been completely saturated, soaked through down to the melt-freeze crust. We did not see any loose wet avalanches but suspect a widespread cycle is occurring. Stay dry out there! 🌧️❄️
