[MCR] New snow update Banff - Bow Summit

Subject: [MCR] New snow update Banff - Bow Summit
Date: Sun, 18 Dec 2011 09:34:40 -0700
Last night and early this morning we received 15-20 cm at Bow Summit, Sunshine, 
and Lake Louise. Winds died down to the light end of moderate, from the west, 
before the bulk of the precipitation came.  Expect to find reactive soft slabs 
15-20 cm thick in the immediate lees of steeper terrain features.     The basal 
weak layer may be slightly more reactive then it has been, until it has some 
time to adjust to the new load.
