[MCR] Mt. Field

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Went up to Mt. Field today with fellow guide Mike Stuart.  Travel up the
road is easy with a well packed Ski Doo trail.  The 10 minute side trip into
the campground near the parking lot  is well worth it to see the devastation
from the Class 4 avalanche earlier this month.  About 40 cm average ski
penetration  once you leave the road and start up Mt. Field.   The alders
are very well covered for this time of year.  From tree line and above there
are buried soft wind slabs beneath the most recent 20 cm of storm snow.  For
this reason we did not ski up the final steep slopes to the summit.  The
midpack  felt strong.  Ski quality was excellent all the way down to the
road.
