[MCR] Rockies, Yamnuska and front ranges. april 14th, 2010

Subject: [MCR] Rockies, Yamnuska and front ranges. april 14th, 2010
Date: Wed, 14 Apr 2010 23:13:50 -0600
Moist snow still on the backside and on the low angle ledges all over the face 
of Yamnuska as of 2pm today. Likely to be some verglas for a day or two, 
especially on the backside. Shady places like the last pitch of Belfry looked 
wintry. The dry stone felt pretty good though after a bit of sun.

The front ranges you see from Yam still looked very snowy at the treeline and 
above. Given the forecast of sun and warmish temps, wet avalanches and rockfall 
will likely be a bit of a concern in those hills for a few days. If the weather 
forecast is correct, I would work hard to avoid being in the fall line of any 
front range snow in the heat of the day through the weekend.
