[MCR] Saddle Peak, Lake Louise Group

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Skied the Saddle Chute from between the two summits of Saddle Mountain this morning. A very supportive crust (icy!) with 5 cm of new snow was found from top to bottom. By 10:30am the crust was softening and collapsing below 2000m.

 

The trail to Saddleback Pass was snow covered 10 minutes up the trail, and will still need a month to clear before dry hiking can be found.  The Aemmer Couloir on Mount Temple had runnels that you could probably drive a car down. It wasn't looking like a pleasant ski! The Tease still looked blue, but the warmer weather has bleached its colour a little.
