ACMG Mountain Conditions Summary for the Rockies and Columbias June 15th, 2016

Wintry day in the Rockies alpine. Never got above freezing in the alpine and was cool in the valley bottoms. Lots of signs of recent windslabs in the alpine, looked to be 20 to 30 cm thick. No reports from the Columbias but I would assume it is a similar state of affairs. 

The wind is still blowing and the snow is still falling at O'Hara as of 3pm. The snow will melt fast when the sun comes out but there will certainly be a cycle of at least loose wet avalanches and rockfall before things get back into shape again.

Low elevations and the east slopes will dry up quickly but the alpine still sports large cornices, lots of snow on the glaciers and mixed conditions in many places.

Summer will come back at some point. Me, I am going south to chase it.
