[MCR] Rockies-Black Prince-March 24th, 2016

Pleasant white day at Black Prince. Snowed hard from 9:30 am till we left around 2pm. 10-15 cm slightly dense snow on the old crusts skied really well on the big avalanche runout at the head of the valley. We only did one lap as it was starting to get warm and the sun was poking through and warming things up even more. Still good travel right out of the parking lot

Lots of sloughing in steep terrain and we saw one Natural slab avalanche (size 2) come off a snowslope on the buttress just south left of the drainage we were below.
