[MCR] Rogers Pass Conditions

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Hello,



Snowy day up at Balu Pass today with temps -1 to -4 and freezing levels 
around 800m.  There was about 10cm new at the parking lot and 20cm at 
the pass from this recent storm.



I saw a big improvement in the coverage from when I was up about 10 days
 ago.  The coverage below 1400m is minimal but at 1500m I found 60-90cm 
in the glades.  At the pass (2000m) it is fully winter with HS of 160cm 
and good skiing.



Felt a number of deep whumphs in the meadows (1800m) below the pass 
where the early Nov crust is down 60-80cm.  I dug below the pass at 
2050m NE HS 160cm.  A few shears at 20cm and 60cm but nothing 
significant.  Though, with the recent wind of the last few days, I would be suspect of windslabs below steep ridgelines and in cross loaded features.  The early Nov crust(s) is down 100cm and came out CTH(1) sudden collapse and is surely facetting.  I would be a bit shy in larger features.  
Though, that didn't seem to stop lots of people I saw today going for 
it.



Thanks,

James Vickers
