[MCR] Columbia Icefields

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Fellow guides James Blench, Jean Gamilovski and I completed an intro to mountaineering w the British army at the Icefields.

At 2200m on the Athabasca glacier we found 10-15cm of fresh snow (from Sep 22-24). At 2600m on the North glacier of Athabasca there was 30-40cm. On Sep 27 winds increased moderate to strong w widespread wind transport. Overnight freezes daily at the campground.
