[MCR] Rockies, Kananaskis, King Creek Canyon

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

In King Creek today, despite lots of fresh snow the conditions were  
feeling very Spring-like.  The trail in is well-packed but the creek  
is rising and in several key spots the crossings are not long for  
this world. The sun is now coming most of the way down into the  
canyon (though not yet onto the climbs) and by mid-morning there was  
lots of sloughing off the steep features above the climbs. The routes  
are currently all still in fair shape - though heavily travelled -  
but had plenty of running water by day's end with noticeable thinning/ 
erosion just over the course of the day today.  Many new wet sluffs  
in all the gullies on the way out, though nothing substantive.

Still a workable venue right now, but if the forecast holds, I  
wouldn't bet on for how much longer.
