Hi all,

I just returned from guiding in the Bugaboos over the busy long week-end. Attached you will find snow photos showing the current snow conditions on the glaciers.

There is still above average snow converge on the glacier for this time of year. That being said, snow is melting fast and crevasses are opening up. Snow travel was very good despite the lack of overnight freeze.

We enjoyed dry alpine rock on the Surf-up route and on the Northeast ridge of Bugaboo spire.

Enjoy summer!
