[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

We skied Loft Peak today. Cold temperatures and a light easterly wind. 
There has been a major avalanche cycle this week, probably from Tuesday 
to Thursday with warm weather. The rain crust ends at 1300 m. Above 
that, it's avalanche debris on any avalanche terrain and a variety of 
facetted snow and wind affected snow elsewhere. The skiing was much 
better than expected on sheltered aspects. We are calling the stability 
fair/ fair/ good. The glaciers are now well covered with more than 320 
cm at 2000 m.
