[MCR] Rogers Pass / Illecilleweat Glacier - March 25

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Went up the glacier up on the ridge behind Mount Lookout.

Good skiing in sheltered areas above 2400m, below a mix of supportive,
melting and breakable crusts. Some isolated pockets of hard shallow
windslabs, which were easy to skier-trigger on the approach to Lookout
notch.

We found the surface hoar down 80-90cm on the glacier in a sheltered area
below Mt. Lookout at about 2400m. About 2.5 - 3m of snow on the glacier in
this elevation.

 

Still a great day to be out, though a few cm of fresh wouldn't hurt.
