A picture is worth a thousand words...Bugaboos Sept 10.

A similar snowfall occurred in the Bugs Sept 5, but by Sept 7 we were able to climb the Kain Route on Bugaboo in dry conditions except for a bit of snow on the ledges up high. Sept 8 we climbed Marmolota E Ridge but that was snowier and slippery and after yesterday is out for the season I suspect. A couple of sunny days will dry up lower elevation souths though I bet.

Sept 9 saw hard rain showers and Sept 10 snow in the Bugs. An afternoon in Lake Louise on the way home Sept 10 saw snow down to the top of Goblin Wall, mid-station at the ski hill. Drier on the divide than on the east slope, but still cold and drab!
