Comox Glacier Conditions

| cwyckham 3 posts | I was up on the Comox Glacier via Frog Ponds last weekend and wanted to give a quick report: -Loggers were on strike, so you can get in any time of day. -The last few km of the road have large ditches across them. I was able to get in about halfway with my honda civic before giving up. A Ford Taurus gave up one ditch farther than we did. Trucks and SUVs were getting all the way up no problem. We only had a half hour walk up the road from where we stopped, though. -The entire route was in very good condition. Still plenty of snow patches, but none causing any issues like scary runouts or cornices or anything. -No crevasses visible on the glacier except for at one steep convexity which had narrow bridged crevasses. We had a great time in beautiful conditions. It's a great time to get up there because of the strike. Chris |
