As the afternoon went on, some of the cloud below us started to move up. Between here and Oliver, there were three spots where there was enough moisture in the cloud to generate a few flakes. A few flakes or crystals on the deck this morning.
At bedtime last night, it was minus12C. At 10:00am, it is minus9C and sunny. Not too cold to ski, just suggesting you cover exposed skin.
Night Operations canceled for Friday, January 23rd
The Baldy
Mountain Community Association (BMCA) is focusing on trails this
season. This includes making the trails clearer, marking them and
providing trail maps. We want to focus on the trails on the Sugar lump
side as there are several good trails there but little information about them.
1. One trail goes from the Sage Meadow trail up through the trees to
the top of the mountain and then through the forest to what we are calling the
Baldy Babes Pool. The trail then carries on to the top of McKiney.
This trail has no official name.
2. The other trail on that side starts at hole 11 in the frisbee golf
course and goes up through the trees to Beaver Trail. It then continues
up through the forest and ends at Gruhls pool. That trail also has no
official name.
The BMCA is
holding a contest to name these two trails and has a prize for each
winner. Please submit your name choice to baldymtn.ca@gmail.com by
February 23. Specify which name is for each of number one and two trails.
Winners will be announced at the Talent show on February 28 in the
lodge.
Coverage in the tubing lane is a little thin, so the tubing lane will be closed until we get more snow.
Check drivebc.ca before you head out.
From Castanet:
The closures will allow for emergency repair work on sections of these highways affected by December flooding.
“The highways will be fully closed to complete repairs as quickly as possible, given the safety concerns associated with the current pavement conditions and the favourable weather window available this week to undertake this urgent work,” said a Ministry of Transportation and Transit news release.
Crews will implement full closures at four locations: two daytime closures on highways 1 and 3 westbound between the Highway 3/5 split and the Hunter Creek Scale, and one short-duration nighttime closure on Highway 5 southbound in Merritt for paving at the Highway 3/5 split east of Hope.
Closures will occur on the following days:
Highway 3 paving near Hope on Tuesday, Jan. 20 (7 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.): Highway 3 traffic will be diverted through Exit 173, the Old Hope Princeton Highway in Hope. Traffic will detour through town and reconnect to Highway 1 westbound west of Hope.
Highway 1 paving west of Hope on Wednesday, Jan. 21 (7 a.m. until 4:30 p.m.): Highway 3 traffic will again be diverted through Exit 173, the Old Hope Princeton Highway in Hope. Traffic will detour through town via Water Avenue and be routed to Highway 7, where motorists can rejoin Highway 1 westbound via Highway 9, or continue toward the Lower Mainland via Highway 7.
Highway 3/5 split paving east of Hope on Thursday, Jan. 22 (overnight from 10 p.m. until 4 a.m.): Highway 5 southbound in Merritt will be closed overnight to complete repairs. Highway 3 westbound traffic travelling from Princeton to Hope will move through a reduced-speed zone near the work zone.
Hello Baldy Babes,
A Baldy Blue day
for our snowshoe! Hilary led our group into the Frisbee Golf Course winding our
way up through the forest to the Jolly Jack Access trail. After taking a break,
we entered the Gruhl's Pool trail. We enjoyed our time at the pool, turned around
and headed back down to the Lodge for lunch.
Sunday, February
22 is our Baldy Babes dinner.
Looking forward to
seeing your smiling faces next week.
Take Care, Marian
