Roger Pass skiing

Mountain Conditions Report

<p>Mr. Scott Davis and I went skiing once more to Bruins Pass (Roger Pass) yesterday. We went up to almost 2500 meters. </p> <p>Above 2000 meters, HS was around 80-120cm.</p> <p>Surfaces hoar are widespread almost all the way to ridge top. On solar aspect these surface hoar got cook, given place to a thin sun crust. Some of these surfaces hoar got blown away in open area in the alpine, but most likely they got preserved in sheltered area. </p> <p>Above 2000 meters, we found up to 20cm HN overlying a rain crust. The crust was supportive even where the snow taper down with elevation lost. </p> <p>Avalanche: Previous (past 48hours) loose dry avalanche activity on solar aspect up to size 1.5 (most likely associated with the HN running on the rain crust below) </p> <p>The trail to Balu Pass is rough (no surprise). Expect walking down part of the trail. </p> <p>Sincerely,</p> <p>Fred Amyot<br /> ACMG IFMGA Mountain Guide</p>
