[MCR] Rockies, Mt Athabasca

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

A regal ascent of  Mt Athabasca yesterday, May 24th, Victoria Day.  
Great travel conditions up and down on the "magic" crust. Its  
supportive almost everywhere and hard enough to require a fair amount  
of step cutting while we traveled on boot soles. Great cramponing  
after we strapped them on.

A party of three ascended the Silverhorn and descended via the Ramp  
route. We saw a dozen skiers, over our three days, enjoying great  
corn down low and dust on crust up high.

Happy trails,
