Hiking Mount Welch in June

Conditions Questions (See Guide before posting)

Hello everyone!

Hike - Welch Peak Fraser Valley.
28km 2200m elevation. Peak sits at 2500m

Me and my girlfriend are planning on doing an overnight hike this weekend. We are both very fit and tend to usually only do intense elevation hikes, 2k+ elevation. We are fairly comfortable with scrambles and exposure and both have a bit of rock climbing experience so I know Welch peak won’t be a problem. However, we aren’t very experienced with hiking in the snow.

Was wondering if anyone knows how the higher elevation coverage is? I know snow is lower this year than previous so I’m thinking that it will mostly be patches of snow around Williamson lake but I’m more concerned about the last 700m to the peak.

Is it worth doing? If conditions aren’t bad what would you recommend for equipment to make it safer?

Thanks!!
