Rogers pass has been getting pummelled with snow this moth - read the Mountain Conditions Report below for the details:

My Fellow Guide, Matt Mueller, and I were camped with a group on the treed benches below the Triangle Moraine from Sunday April 3rd until Wednesday April 6th. It snowed pretty much the whole time from Sunday afternoon until Wednesday morning. 10 to 20 cms of new snow every 24 hours. Lots of clearing snow away from our tents.

We found a resistant planar shear yielding hard results on compression tests, and a hard result that did not propagate on an extended column test. Both tests produced this resistant planar shear down about 70 cms on April 4th, I'd guess this layer to be down about 1 meter now.

We skied multiple runs on the Triangle Moraine slope and made a tour to the Asulkan Hut, and onto Asulkan Pass, on April 5th. Skies were overcast and obscured for most of our stay. We didn't venture too high, or very steep.

The skiing was really good.

Happy trails,

Barry Blanchard
