TRIP STATUS: CANCELLED DUE TO BAD WEATHER

Weather forecast leaves little hope it will improve:

Saturday forecast (one day before the trip):
"..There is a 97% probability of heavy snowfall and showers. ..new snow up to 66cm.."
http://www.viewweather.com/w8278 ... itish_columbia.html

Avalanche danger will be heightened as well. "..Travel conditions below treeline elevations remain challenging..."
"..the "wait 48 hours and you're good" Coastal mantra does not apply as these conditions are likely to persist for some time, and may become reactive with forecast snowfall.."
http://www.avalanche.ca/cac/bulletins/latest/sea-to-sky

Following standard safety protocol, trip is cancelled.
