[MCR] Rockies, Saddle Pass

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

I guided some ski touring in the Saddle Pass area today. The snowpack became very variable at treeline with boiler plate windslabs and facetted pits sitting under 4-15 cm of new snow. We skied two of the slide paths that come off of Mt Fairview from treeline down to their choke outs (heavy timber). We had some good turns and exited the area via the Saddle Pass summer trail (the way we got up there).

Happy trails,
