Skookumchuck - Saint Agnes' Well (Hot Springs) is something I really want to visit in the near future. I've heard the temperature can be regulated to very hot, meaning this place will be worth going even during a light snowfall, as long as the car would be able to take 45 km of logging roads.
The location for the hot springs is East South of Pemberton. It's a close to 3 hours trip via Sea to Sky highway, which is still under construction for 2010 Olympics. I expect it will take at least 9 hours to enjoy the road trip fully, or overnight trip with BBQ, beer and bear spray.
Another hot springs option in the area is Meager Hot springs. That's the one we wanted to reach in March with Alex K. during our cross-country ski trip. The latest BC Forestry Ministry's report from September 12 states that the road to the springs is closed at 37'th km. Even if you pass that point, and cross the first bridge, the second bridge was washed away. There are no plans to rebuild it yet.
There is still hope, as I've heard there are more smaller hot pools past 40'th km, but since I've learned about Skookumchuk's Well, Meager hot springs have been pushed down as a secondary task.
