[MCR] Dolomite Peak Area, Feb 28, 2008

Had a great tour around Dolomite Peak today!  10-15cm of new snow with little wind effect made for excellent skiing and easy travelling.  There was some windloading going on at ridgetops and we saw a large slab (Size 2.0+) pull out in some steep North facing terrain on Bow Peak first thing in the morning.  The sunny breaks were also enough to create a light sun crust on South facing slopes.  In general the snowpack was quite weak and we stayed off of steeper terrain and away from overhead hazards.
 

Cheers, Conrad Janzen
