[MCR] Bow Summit

Subject: [MCR] Bow Summit

Skied up Cirque Creek between Cirque and Observation today.

120-150 cm of snow with no significant weak layers and no shears in a mostly 
facetted snowpack. 6 cm of new snow lies atop surface hoar on shaded slopes and 
surface hoar on a suncrust on south aspects. 

As with everywhere else in the Rockies anything windward is pretty much 
wind-schralped. The skiing is pretty good on lee aspects and sheltered areas 
but thin and rocky on exposed terrain.
