[MCR] Rockies, Crowfoot Pass

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

My fellow guides, Craig Hollinger, Eric Vezeau, and I guided around  
Crowfoot Pass today. Nice to see, and ski, a supportive snowpack in  
the Rockies. We got snow depths of 85-125 cm in the valley floor and  
200 cm up on the Bench route. We also experienced some whumpfing in  
shallow snow areas. Larger open slopes are spookier than normal given  
the size of the avalanches this year, and how far they are running.  
We kept our distance. There was some fine turns down the Creek Bed  
route below treeline.

Of note, the Num Ti Jah Lodge parking lot is not plowed out and is  
not passable. Apparently the same is true for the Bow Summit parking  
lot.

Happy trails,
