[MCR] Evening Ridge Area - Selkirks

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Some quick observations from an AST 1 course today:

1500m - 60cm

1600m - 75cm

1700m - 80cm

1900m - 95cm (speculation after storm on observed amounts from Friday)

 

About 15cm of cold powder overlies old interfaces (like soft slab in wind
exposed areas).

Still not enough snow depth to cover logs, brush and surface roughnesses
below about 1700m.  An unsolidified base makes for challenging trail
breaking around buried obstacles. 

Nice skiing in quality snow to be had at higher elevations though (where no
previous wind effect exists).
