MCR Observation

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Stellar high pressure created strong overnight freezes and warm days on the ice.<br /> We climbed Mt. Columbia on the 27th, easily kicking steps up the 15-25 cm of new snow from last week's storm. But this is settling quickly.<br /> On the 28th, we zipped up Snow Dome before skiing out. Still excellent coverage with few sags.<br /> The crevasses had opened up substantially on the Athabasca glacier in the two days we were up high. Numerous sags, open slots, and weak bridges.</p>
