[MCR] Bow Summit

[Public Mountain Conditions Report]

A couple of hot laps this evening at Bow summit. Excellent skiing. At 6pm 
17cm of cold low density storm snow overlay temperature crust. This crust 
carries reasonably well from the parking lot and up so long as you're not 
in the tight trees. In open glades at treeline the crust is solid. Lots of 
wind from the North today and the alpine looks pretty hammered. No Na 
observed but limited obs & vis. Storm came in warm and cooled off and so 
at lower elevations at least there is good bonding with the crust.

Lots of snow north and east of Bow Summit (I was at the Bighorn Reserve 
earlier today west of Nordegg), much less south of Bow Summit through 
Lake Louise to Banff.
