MCR Observation

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Spent the day in the Blackcomb slackcountry (Husume, DOA, Spearhead Glacier). Notable obs: significant wind transport, with strong to very strong gusty winds out of the South. Warming temps (hovering around 0 degrees at 2000m in the afternoon) and wind transport were quickly forming pockets of slab on lee features that were easily triggered by skier traffic in steeper terrain. </p> <p>Ski conditions above 1800m stayed quite good, despite PM warming. </p> <p>Concerns mainly lay with larger unsupported features with significant wind load, and rapid new cornice growth coupled with warm temps.</p>
