Was out yesterday in backpacking boots and gaiters, ankle deep in mud on the south- and west-facing aspects. However, some brave soul in skis that go high 40s to low 50s wide had been touring the ultra-thin snow in the trees on north-facing aspects.
You are my new hero.
Apparently it is still possible. Not a lot of rocks here, so your bases will be fine if you don't mind cleaning mud off them later. Keep in mind that snow this thin and variable will be super fast in steep ravines with the occasional stick or mud "jerk back" to send you ass-over-teakettle.
Bravo, bold BC touring dude, whoever you are! You got the last ski at Woodpecker in 2010-11, methinks.
