[MCR] Extra Lite

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Guided the first half of Extra Lite today, Feb 21. Walked across the  
frozen Kicking Horse River with the first bit being on newly frozen  
surface floods. There is a good trail into the climb and contrary to  
what the guidebook says the creek leading up to the climb is quite  
defined at the railway tracks.

There is a lot of water on the route and it was impossible not to  
have the ropes get wet, then freeze.

We watched Silk Tassel avalanche at 12:20 pm (it looked to be a size  
2 when we drove away later in the day).

There was ankle deep water running over the surface of the Kicking  
Horse River on our return.

Happy trails,
