[MCR] Wapta Traverse

Subject: [MCR] Wapta Traverse
Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2009 11:01:50 -0600
We skied into Bow Hut on the 2nd, Balfour Hut on the 3rd, Scott Duncan Hut on the 4th, out Sherbrooke Lake on the 5th. Great travel conditions overall, trailbreaking was ankle deep at the most. Boot packed up Mt Olive on route to Balfour hut. Breakable sun crust on southerly aspects on the Schiesser/Lomas exit. The east facing gullies off of Mt Ogden were running with wet avalanches by mid day on the 5th.

Happy Trails
