[MCR] Rockies, King Creek

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

I guided in King Creek today, Jan 19th. All the ice is in great  
shape. The creek has over-run the approach trail in a couple of  
places forcing some detours. Also of note is that as of 2 pm, when we  
were walking out, none of the avalanche gullies that runout into the  
creek had slid since the last, big, storm. I was keeping an eye on  
them on the way in, doubly so on the way out as  the sun was coming  
onto the south facing ones. These avalanche tracks are narrow enough  
that you would have a chance of running out of the way, if you saw a  
slide coming. Keep an eye on them, look up, especially with the  
afternoon sun.

Happy trails,
