[MCR] Kicking Horse Back Country

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Skied in the Mollars area in the Kicking Horse slack country Jan16/17. The
late December surface hoar is down 40-60 cm now in below treeline to
treeline elevations and VERY reactive. We observed numerous, heavy and
widespread whumpfing, remote triggered a 2.5ish slab, and counted

3 other skier triggered 1.5-2ish slabs. Most of the snowpack below the
surface hoar layer is strongly faceted.
