SanJuanWorm Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 What about the waterton area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dryfly Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 Dave Akamina Pass is in Waterton. The snow pack is off the charts at more than 200% of average...850mm water equivalent. or about 28 feet of snow at 1760 meters. It has snowed up high almost daily for weeks. A slow melt will be fine. A fast melt will not be a good thing. Clive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reevesr1 Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Check the ski reports. Lots more snow predicted this week. Gotta say, as a skier I've loved this season. But there sure is a load of water coming our way! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipestoneflyguy Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 One of the deepest snowpacks I've seen in my 18 years up here in LL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailhead Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 "you don't have to worry much about the water flow for the summer ", Unless it all melts at once as has been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawgstoppah Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 I might want to consider building an ark before June hits with that waterton snowpack. Those mountains just west of me are WHITE... it even LOOKS deep from 35km away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
