Hello,
Steve Holeczi and I spent the last 4 days in the Columbia Icefields Area. The conditions have significantly changed since Jorg's post. In the past 3 days the early morning Temperatures in the campground have been in the +10 to +12 range and the supportive crust up high has disappeared and been left with knee deep post holing in the previous tracks. Snow bridges are still difficult to see and are extremly weak. No new avalanches were noted. These conditons were seen on route to A2 and below the Silverhorn.
Heads up.
