[MCR] Bugaboo, Purcell Mountains

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Here's an update on travel condition in the Bugaboos.
 
The snow level is about average or a little above average for this time
of year.  As of July 1st the snow begins at about the level of the
Conrad Kain Hut.  There is still some snow at Boulder Campground, and
there are only a few tent sites exposed at Applebee Dome.  The snow is
firm and supportive, providing for good travel except around rocks that
are lurking just below the surface.  
 
The Bugaboo-Snowpatch Col is still snow covered with no sign of the
bergshrund or crevasses, however there has been some recent wet snow
sluffs and rockfall originating from the lower Southeast slopes of
Bugaboo spire.  The routes in the Crescent Spires/Towers area are dry
and being climbed, but there is still a fair bit of snow ligering on
most of the other routes.  
 
Lots of climbers heading into the park for the weekend, and the hut was
starting to fill up by the afternoon of the 1st.
 
Have a good weekend,
