[MCR] Banff to Lake Louise

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

On a flight from Banff to Lake Louise today it appeared that most of the
front range climbs were still in that awkward in between stage regarding
snow cover. The trail into Mt. Louis looks very snowy, and it seems it will
be a while yet before it will be reasonable to go there.

Anything above the Goat Plateau on Castle Mountain is still pretty wintery,
but Ultra Brewers looked dry and snow free except for the plateau itself.

The Back of the Lake seems to be mostly snow free even at the base of the
cliff, the only thing you will need is some sun.

The main Lake Louise group is still in the dead of winter in terms of snow
coverage. It is quite unlikely that snow conditions have  frozen in the
past few days.
