[MCR] Bugaboos, Cobalt Lake and a Grizzly Bear

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Chris and I were just in the Bugaboo area for July 2 and 3.
We hiked in, in the rain July 2, which deposited up to 30cm of snow in  
the area. July 3 we climbed Eastpost Spire, NW ridge and then hiked  
out via Cobalt lake. We had a 20cm foot pen with occasional post  
holing. Temperatures ranged from + 2 - 10 ºC under very cloudy skies  
with occasional light rain and lots of low hanging clouds. We had an  
encounter with a grizzly bear inbetween cobalt lake and black forest  
ridge.

Here is a photo from yesterday at Appleby campground where there is a  
metre of snow.
