[MCR] Rocky Mountains - Mount Hector

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Hello, 

We skied/climbed Mount Hector on the Icefields Parkway today, April9th. 

Of note: probing found snow depths of only 45cm in some locations on the 
climbers left hand side of the glacier between 3060m and 3200m.  This is a 
shoulder feature that is exposed to westerly winds (wind stripping of snow 
being the likely cause of the low snow depths) 

Factor this information into your route finding and/or your decision to rope 
up or not. 

A great day in the mountains!
