[MCR] Interior Update

Subject: [MCR] Interior Update

Just to update all those people planning their Xmas trip to the interior
ranges - it is definitely snowing again and that means that things are
changing out there in the mountains.

The previous couple of weeks worth of clear and cold weather has left a wide
variety of surface conditions - from suncrust to windslab , loose faceted
snow to surface hoar - which is now covered with the recent storm snow of
the last few days which by most reports is fairly dense giving what is
commonly called upside down powder - on other words a soft slab.

Currently it is snowing steadily in Revelstoke and it sounds like more is on
the way so hazards will only increase over the holidays - so keep alert and
drive safely as I am sure that the roads are none too great either.

Best of the Season to all,
Scott Davis
