[MCR] Cariboos - Blue River

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

North Blue River - Cariboos

It's been decided....we're just going to keep skiing.

Blue River alpine objectives still have late spring/winter like  
hazards and conditions for both the Cariboos and Monashees. The past  
winter snowpack has been tenacious so far this summer.
It is slowing becoming marbled with anywhere between 30-150 cm of  
snow remaining in the alpine and well into tree line. Temperatures  
dropped during the past two days with a dusting of snow down to 2000m.

Did not notice any new slab avalanche activity but still lot's of wet  
loose, debris laden, avalanches cleaning out to ground on all  
aspects. Cornices still hankering to come down in places.
There is ALOT  of water flowing with the prolonged freshet and recent  
heavy precipitation. Creeks and rivers are a force to be reckoned with.

Early season wildflowers and hiking in the Wavy Range or Trophies...  
check back in two weeks or use snowshoes/skis.

Mozzies were non existent during the latest cold front. However, when  
the sun comes out it is a feeding frenzy.
