Anyone ever ski tour either Bralorne or Wells/Barkerville early season?

Myself and a couple friend have grown up riding Revelstoke and gettin powder on our faces every year before halloween and this year we want to go on an adventure somewhere up a little ways north to see what the mountains have to offer this time of year. Any other NS'ers have any experience skiing around that time of year up there?

If you are in Revy right now you're probably aware that we are sitting in quite the high pressure system. It's dominating the whole south province (maybe north too, but I don't pay attention to that). I don't think anyone in southern BC has seen any snow since that bit we got in late September. With nothing but sunshine in the long range forecast, I don't think you'll be getting any worth while skiing in before Halloween. I was in Lilloet last weekend for Thanksgiving and the Duffy was dry with the snowline a few hundred meters above the highway. There MIGHT be some skiable zones up high around Bralorne, but the snow will be very hoary, rotten, and most likely full of sharks - you'd probably need to stick to glaciers to get any turns in.
Check the TGR forum, they might have some real beta on the situation over there, but I doubt it's going to be promising.

Yeah thanks dude, I figured barkerville and bralorne have some of the longest winters in canada and things might be getting rowdy out there. I will defs check the tgr forums because they usually know whats up.

Does Wells get a long season? Is there any easy skiing access up there? I've always wanted to check out the Caribou's in the Horsefly/Wells Grey area, but never heard anyone say anything about the Wells/Barkerville area...
