A big weather system is coming tomorrow with 20mm of rain in the forecast. If that falls as snow on the Hurley it could be the end of the driving season.
Thanks to Sal Demare for today’s update. Drove the Hurley this morning to go to a SLRD Board meeting. The grading that has been done so far is awesome. Thank you, Bridge River Mechanical! The Lillooet FSR is also graded. -3 degrees at the summit.
This site is user maintained so keep the emails coming to info@bridgerivervalley.ca. Thanks to everyone who has sent in photos and updates this year.
If you choose to drive the Hurley at this time of the year be prepared to experience all kinds of weather and winter driving conditions. Winter driving skills, 4×4, chains and good snow tires are essential for travel. A survival/safety kit are good things to carry in your truck. Conditions can change fast at anytime up there with the fluctuating temperatures & weather. Current conditions may not be reported on this site. Have a safe drive.
Hit the summit about 2 this afternoon in a stock 97 chevy blazer and it was sketchy. Heavy snow it was +5 when we left gunn. We survived the hurley! Thankyou for all the hospitality!
