Danny and I are planning to run Big Mountain after work if it comes up enough. Looks like it will top out at class II at this point but its wet and moving. We'll update plans tomorrow.

The sheep tends to follow a similar trend to the kakwa as the headwaters come from the same area. And the Kakwa has started to spike as well.

Should be a wild weekend in grande cache at the rendezvous.

This morning the big, bald and cutbank were all low. On the way back, the cutbank was starting to look better but still too low to run. Looking at the online gauge it should continue to riser overnight. Should be good to go tomorrow hopefully.

Big and bald were still much too low to run.

Muskeg is now over 20 on the gauge and still climbing!

I've got to work tomorrow but may be able to play hooky part of Friday.
