Just out from a trip into the Bugaboos - conditions are holding up so far  -
Bugaboo Snowpatch Col still in snow condition - schrund continues to open
midslope requiring a big step/jump to cross if you follow the main track up
it.

Temps were quite warm(no overnight freezes) with a major
lightening/thunder/rain event mid afternoon on July 25(Tuesday) that caught
a lot of parties still out on their routes - weather stabilized again on
Wednesday with only fair weather clouds.

Kudos to Parks/ACC for the improvements to the parking area and hut (new
filtration system on water supply to Conrad Kain hut) - parking lot was
quite full and there are something like 25 plus people registered for the
hut over the weekend and until Tuesday next week.
