Visited Slim Creek in the Southern Chilcotin Mountains from the 7th through 12th of this month. On the 9th/10th it snowed down to 5000'. About 20cm accumulated at tree line and near ridge tops drifts were near a meter deep. Much of this snow was still present yesterday morning. About access: The Slim Creek Main has been upgraded as has the bridge at 5000'. The road is drivable for 2wd (cars height) to the bridge. The last 1.5km is a little rutted and ditched (need a large wheeled vehicle; vans work). The road ends at about 397 910 92 j/14 (NAD 27) About 3.25 hrs north of Whistler if you take the Hurley Pass road, a trail goes up valley from there. A great place to guide clients who are looking for open meadows, small glaciers and scrambling peaks to 8500'.
