Tuxs Trail Condition?????
I am heading up to Pinkham on Monday. Can anyone who has been up the Tuxs Trail this weekend tell me if I should bring snowshoes or is the trail packed enough not to need them. Thanks!

Does the trail (Tux trail) have skinable snow from the bottom all the way to Ho Jo's?

Could anyone tell me if the ravine has enough snow coverage to use new skis on? It's just my mom's nervous about scratching up my new prophet 90s.

As with any BC areas, you run the risk of scratching your boards.
I look at it as Soul.
You wont be killing your skis, dont worry.

it all depends on whether you choose to ski on rock or snow. snow, no damage. rock, damage. plenty of snow up there, plenty of rock up there.

depends on if your run was groomed the night before, if you stick to the groomers you'll be fine.
