Others (Sandbilly, Hankthecrank) said as of yesterday (Wednesday, Jan 28) that the Valentine Refuge is sketchy at best, while Merritt is still holding on.

I don't know if you'll see a report more recent than that - the number of people venturing out is probably dropping for the time being.

Stopped by Merritt on the way to a meeting yesterday. Ice has pulled off the bank in most places. One guy was ice fishing fishing near Beeds. He had to walk off the boat ramp to get on. Said there was about a foot of ice. I did not go out to look. We need serious cold and no snow to firm things back up.
