[MCR] Burstall Pass, K Country April 25

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Skied up towards Burstall Pass on April 25.  Crust on solar aspects, and 5-10 cm of skiable but slightly moist powder on north and east aspects.  Fast travel on a well packed trail.

Evidence of an avalanche cycle to size 3 on solar aspects in the alpine, from the previous few days of warm temps and clear skies.  We had a mix of sun, cloud and convective snow showers, which kept temps cooler and resulted in minimal sun affect.

No slab avalanches observed on north or east aspects.  185cm's of snow at 2150 m.
