[MCR] Rogers Pass - Ursus Minor trees

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Hello again, 

We skied Ursus minor trees in Rogers Pass again today. 

Here is an update. 

A significant avalanche cycle occured today.  The cycle started with the 
arrival of the winds (around 11am-12pm)
Numerious 1.0 to 2.0 slab avalanches were observed in the connaught creek 
drainage.
Of note, the sides of the gully on the "frequent-flyer" path slid. Size 1.5 
and the slab pulled out at around 1600m.  A small amount of debris ran over 
the uptrack.  The debris amount (that covered the uptrack) would have 
covered your skis, but not your boot tops. 

Temperature: colder than friday.  -5 at 12:15pm at 1920m.
Wind: moderate with strong gusts from the SW.  This means that north and 
east sloped were getting significanly wind loaded.
The colder temperatures pulled moisture out of the snow, making for better 
ski quality. 

Be careful out there!!
