[MCR] Wilcox peak and north to Jasper

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Went up Wilcox peak yesterday as it was forecast for rain and wanted 
a peak fairly straight forward. I have been up here many times this 
time of year and it seems above 2300 metres things seem more snowy 
than usual. Wilcox was quite snow covered for most of the upper 
route, making for a nice climb on snow. Travel on snow was not great 
as there was not a good freeze and it got quite "punchy" where it was 
thigh deep or less (I measured it a number of times!)

Still seems like a lot of snow in Wilcox pass and most depressions 
are still snowbound. Up to 10cm on Wilcox over the day and new snow 
was noted on most of the peaks in the area.

Driving home to Jasper took a few shots of the peaks in the area..
