[MCR] Bugaboos

Just got back from a few days in the Bugaboos.  The weather was amazing, very warm in the afternoon with no winds at at all.  Bug-snow patch col looked in great shape with light freezing in the morning which made for easy glacier travel.  One thing to note - there is about 75m of snow on some of the lower elevation glaciers like approach to NE ridge of Bugaboo.  This is just enough snow to hide the smaller crevasses that are very hidden and waiting to give you a good surprise.  I would recommend roping up more than normal for this time of year because the snow bridges are getting very weak.

Enjoy the rest of the summer!
