Early season trail condition report: Hollyburn Chute

Baden Powell Trail condition, April 11, 2014 near the Blue Gentian Lake junction.
The Hollyburn Chute section of the Baden Powell is in great shape this year. After inspecting it today, we can report that it’s basically snow free, save for a few short patches south of the Blue Gentian Lake trail junction. North of the junction, there’s still continuous snow about 60cm-90cm deep. And unlike last year when people were doing contortions through all the blowdowns, this year the area is free of downed trees. Let your training begin!
