[MCR] Kananaskis Country Snow

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Like elsewhere in the ranges, Kananaskis also began to make the
transition into winter today.  Highwood pass area had close to 10cm at
the tail end of the storm on Monday and I suspect amounts are closer to
10-20cm at higher elevations.   Some wind transport of available snow
was seen at higher elevations so we can certainly expect pockets of
windslabs throughout Alpine terrain.

 

When the sun came out, lots of S facing routes were melting quickly such
as Yam and Lorette but closer to the divide, not much melting was going
on...
