[MCR] Midday Peak, Selkirk Mountains near Salmo

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Had a sunny hike/ski in the Barrett Creek drainage today near Salmo.  We 
reached the summit of Midday Peak just after noon.  There was a whopping 
45cm of snow at 1925m on the summit.  The snow fully covered the ground 
above about 1500m.  Air temperatures ranged from just above freezing in 
the valley in the morning to around 10C at noon on the summit.  
Temperatures plummeted rapidly as the sun went down.

I took skis (the eternal optimist!) and my buddies took snowshoes.  
Snowshoes were the better option.  The skiing sucked on the breakable 
crust, but I still had fun!.
