Yes it has snowed the last couple of days, but indications are that summer will be hot and dry.
The video is from 2025, and there will be some updates depending on funding, but some good information here.

Weather today
It was blowing hard enough that the Oliver Landfill closed early.
A large tree came down on Hwy 3, blocking both lanes in the Anarchist Mtn community area. (cleared)
Light wind blowing snow under my deck.

Welcome Home Teresa / Nona
It's a long way from Argentina to Baldy, but Nona is home, and looks great. I just happened to stop by the Palace this afternoon just before Nona was due to arrive. I'm sure she will want some rest, but I won't be surprised if she is outside with the family channeling run off soon.

Farming Karma Fruit Co - You may have seen the Premier there on the news tonight..........
Among other things, the company produces sparkling fruit juice with no added sugar, just the sugar from the fruit. I like the stuff, and was a little surprised when I pulled into their tasting bar/store lot this morning. My dirty truck was definitely out of place with all the shiny cars, reporters and photographers.
Fortunately I was able to make my purchase and get out of there before the VIP entourage appeared. This business got some government funding for expansion awhile ago, and Eby was there to announce funding for 4 other BC manufacturing companies to expand, and create 100 jobs.
The juice is seasonally in Costco, Western Canada, (not yet). The products in other grocery stores are way over priced. My favourite is apricot, and that hasn't been in the Costco pack in the past.

Dry Spring - Fire Danger
We all know how quickly an ignition in nearby valleys can take off. 2015 Rock Creek, and 2021 starting at the north end of Osoyoos Lake , and eventually coming up the back side of Baldy, as well as up Anarchist Mountain.
This weekend I spent time on acreage near Westbridge - they did get a little snow when we got our last dump, but the ground was as dry as it normally is in August.
In 2021, structural fire protection crews were quoted as saying that they could not save the village - homes close together, and too many trees. We were within hours of the fire cresting the top of the mountain and coming down our side when the wind stopped and the humidity went up. Some of us considered that miracle was made possible by the powers of Baldy founders looking down on us.
This is not the year to put your head in the sand and ignore your mountain property after the snow melts.
There has been a lot of work done in the village, but so much more needs to be done.
Please check the link, and start making your plans.
