[MCR] Rogers Pass: Connaught Creek Skin Track

Just a reminder to folks skiing in the
Connaught Drainage up towards Balu Pass to keep the skin track high up
against the trim line as you head past the Cheops North #4 and other big
north facing avalanche paths.  Reports came in today of skiers feeling
an airblast from Cheops North #4, and also that the track is unusually
low given the conditions.  With the current wind loading and weak
layers in the snowpack, avalanches have the potential to run far.  
Keep your heads up out there.
