Subject: [MCR] Burstall Pass, K Country April 25
Date: Tue, 26 Apr 2011 14:08:03 -0700
Skied up towards Burstall Pass on April 25.  Crust on solar aspects, and 5-10 
cm of skiable but slightly moist powder on north and east aspects.  Fast travel 
on a well packed trail.

Evidence of an avalanche cycle to size 3 on solar aspects in the alpine, from 
the previous few days of warm temps and clear skies.  We had a mix of sun, 
cloud and convective snow showers, which kept temps cooler and resulted in 
minimal sun affect.

No slab avalanches observed on north or east aspects.  185cm's of snow at 2150 
m.
