[MCR] Rogers Pass: Bonney Trees

In the Bonney Trees area today and the December 29 surface hoar is still twitchy. We had a rutschblock 4, most of the block, and were able to ski cut a size 1.5 avalanche, both at about 1800 m in a sparsely treed area. It propagated about 12 m, was 35 cm deep and ran through the trees and across some low angled terrain before it stopped.

We didn't see any recent natural avalanches.
