[MCR] Avalanche Control - Coquihalla February 25, 2014

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

The Ministry of Transportation will be conducting helicopter explosives control on Tuesday, February 25. The Coquihalla will be closed from 9:00am-1:00pm between Hope and Merritt. Please do not ski/snowshoe on slopes facing the highway. Examples of some, but not all areas that we may do control in are: Yak/Nak/Thar area, Markor N Slide path (Lunch Run) and Two Bears. See attached google images for closure areas (Red Polygons).

Please do not park at the Zopkios Sand Shed or Box Canyon South Bound Pull Out. If you are planning to head to the Coquihalla check DriveBC for updated road closure times. Areas that we will not be doing explosives control in are Needle Ridge/Bowl, Zoa, Falls Lake, Coq Lakes Ridge (Toll Booth) and Ottomite/Iago.

When you return to your vehicle, take the time to ensure the highway is open. If you do not see numerous vehicles go by in a five minute span, the road is still closed. Stay in the parking area until you see that traffic has resumed.

Thanks for your co-operation, play safe.
