Rogers Conditions Report

  • 2016-11-19 20:07:11
    A quick report on conditions in Rogers Pass.  Access up Connaught is thin which isn't much of an issue for access but more so for egress. You have two options either walk the trail for a couple hundred meters on just point it and hope for the best.  Above 1600m is where the skiing is happening right now with little to no options below that elevation range Depths of 50 cm , deadfall , rocks and broken dreams prevail.  Around 1800m-2000m it's full on winter. The warming event of last week left the snowpack isothermal ( moist ) and above that sits about 40-60 cms of snow ( where I was poking around ). Things have bonded reasonably well and stability has been quite good.  I have attached a few quick video's and photos as they do a better job describing the conditions than me and my keyboard. Get out there, it's worth it!
