[MCR] Hwy 93 North conditions.

Subject: [MCR] Hwy 93 North conditions.

Skied some East/NorthEast facing moraines just North of Crowfoot
Glades this morning.  The storm snow from last week (20-30cm on
average in this area) was getting zapped hard by the sun today and at
2600m was getting weak by 10:30AM.  Some dry snow sluffing off of
steep, North facing terrain in the alpine and I would expect some
isolated windslabs over the previous hard melt/freeze surfaces to
still be triggerable in those areas.  Low of -4C and highs of 2C
before noon.

We should see more of a melt/freeze cycle over the few couple of days
which should settle out a lot of the surface slabs, at least until the
day warms up.

Cheers
