[MCR] Rockies - Mount Field

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

We attempted to ski on Mount Field yesterday however we found a variable breakable wind or temperature crust in all open areas above about 1800m. It was a beautiful day but the skiing was not very pleasant to say the least.

Of note, there was a thick fog layer up to about 2200m and all of the terrain within the fog layer had a healthy blanket of surface hoar up to about 10mm tall. This may be important to keep in mind when the next snowfall comes.

Happy hunting (for good skiing)
