[MCR] Mt Hector

Spent a beautiful day ski touring on Mt. Hector today. -24 at the car at 9:00 this morning with minimal warming throughout the day. About 20 cms of storm snow lower down on the route with nothing but wind scouring up high. On the glacier we found between 140 and 250 cms. We did not bring ski crampons but they would have been helpful on the upper mountain. There are also numerous rocks peppering the lower the slopes. A great outing all in all.
