[MCR] Dolomite Circuit

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Did the Dolomite Circuit today (May 15). The snow in the lower sections is
going fast, but we only had to take skis off for a couple of bare patches
and for creek crossings. Both, Helen Creek and the creek on the East side of
Dolomite Peak were easily crossed on rocks with no wet feet. 
The skiing and traveling above treeline was excellent, with creamy corn on
the low angle slopes on the East side of Dolomite. The snow started to get
soft below 2180m and was marginal in the trees down to Mosquito Creek.
There was old ski compaction on the trail down Mosquito Creek and if one was
gentle with it, the eggshell carried most of the way. One or two day-old
bear tracks heading up the Mosquito Creek trail, otherwise no bear signs
observed.
There is still some good corn skiing to be had, if you don't mind the
sections close to the road and get an early start.
