MCR Observation

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Further to Jordy’s report on May 3rd, I went today to Lefroy Glacier (same valley as Surprise pass &amp; North Victoria glacier) with a group of students from the ADVG/TRU ski expedition. </p> <p>We observed a widespread avalanche cycle on all aspects that had happened the day before May 4th. These avalanches ran to valley bottom up to size 3,5. </p> <p>To note: An Avalanche size 2,5 out of surprise pass, burring our entire previous track from May 3rd. </p> <p>Another size 2,5 or 3 out of Fairview ran directly into Lake Louise, pushing some block of ice onto the shore near the hiking trail. </p> <p>Another avalanche that attract my attention came from the South aspect of Mount White, a size 3 perhaps a 3,5 running to valley floor, burring the non-official winter hiking trail just before the plain of six glacier tea house and our ski track from May 3rd.</p> <p>This is what it is when it is warm in the springtime in the mountain. </p> <p>Tomorrow will still be warm and possibly a bit rainy, thus more avalanches will most likely come down.</p>
