[MCR] photo of bugaboo-snowpatch col

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

Here is a photo of the Bugaboo-Snowpatch Col from this morning.
Although we did not travel on it, you can see many people negotiating the 'schund in the morning.
We travelled on the Bugaboo glacier from the Kain hut and found snow at the toe, and good overnight freezes the last two nights. There is still recent storm snow making the glacier look deceptively less crevassed in places.
Day time warming resulted in slushy snow conditions with ankle deep penetration and many weak bridges over crevasses near the firn line (dry ice/summer snow line on the glacier).
There is still snow on rock ledges near the summits of even solar aspects on the major formations like bugaboo and snow patch. We heard a report of icy cracks on Pigeon.
