[MCR] Lake O'Hara

0 degrees celsius, calm and 2cms snow overnight at 2000m around Lake O'Hara. Peaks are snowcovered from 2500m up but nothing looks really plastered except the big slopes like Lefroy, Glacier and the West face of Hungabee. Grassi ridge is still dry. No signs of any recent avalanche activity visible but it was a bit cloudy and grey for really confident observations. No really fat water ice anywhere in sight but lots of thin dribbles everywhere above 2800m.

 

Conditions around Lake Louise appear to be similar.

 

Buses have stopped running so if you like a long walk it could be a wonderful wilderness experience at O'Hara by wednesday when the lodge is completely shut down.
