[MCR] Mount Victoria and Lake O'Hara Conditions June 8-10

I took some photos on an evening flight to the Plain of Six Glaciers area above Lake Louise on June 8 (photos attached).  Still a metre or more of snow at the Plain of Six tea house (2100m) and difficult to walk on with isothermal conditions.

 

I was up at Lake O'Hara today (June 10).  Still snow at the lake elevation and above.  Grassi Ridge looks pretty dry, but I suspect the descent is quite snowy still (photos attached) and there will be snow patches on the ledges on the route.
