[MCR] Selkirk Mtns - Rogers Pass - Usrus Minor Trees - Nov.11/11

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

This is just a follow up to Neil Warrens post regarding some avalanche
activity in Rogers Pass yesterday - a friend (thanks Reinet) sent me a photo
of the avalanche that occurred on the approach to Ursus Minor trees
yesterday (see attached). Hopefully this gives people a sense of what is
lurking out there.

 

Also another friend was up at Mt. McCrae yesterday and reported a widespread
cycle on the Nov.7th Surface hoar layer which was down @ 50-60cms from the
surface. They turned back before they got to any real ski terrain.

 

It has continued to rain all day to day in Revelstoke and glimpses through
the cloud show the snow line not far above town, so this instability is only
getting buried deeper by the minute.

 

Cheers,

Scott Davis
