Hudson Bay Mtn - S. Summit

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Despite the early season conditions, we made the most of fast travel under blue sky to the 2600m south summit of Hudson Bay Mtn.<br /> Travel above 1500m is good w skis, with a solid melt freeze crust, and snow depths of 30-40cm in the Alpine. Above 1800m, 5 cm of previous storm snow has been blown around into thin slabs in lee terrain.<br /> Noted 2 size 2 avalanches in very steep, windloaded pockets on E asp high in the alpine of the Henderson Couloir from the weekends storm.<br /> Cornices are growing along the summit ridge and require awareness in route selection. Boot crampons were not required.</p>
