[MCR] Bow Summit April 29

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Yesterday (April 29) there was 15-25 cm of new snow at Bow Summit on a supportive crust.  The new snow was sluffing off steep slopes in the alpine, and we noted one size 2 slab in the alpine on the highway side of Cirque Peak.

Ski quality was good, but the new snow was getting moist on solar aspects by noon.

There are some deeper wind loaded pockets to watch out for, and the new snow was stiffening into a soft slab, and bonding poorly to the crust.
