Cory Pass Loop

I enjoyed a fine day of guiding Thanksgiving Monday on the Cory Pass loop. There is a bit of snow lingering on the upper trail approaching the pass but it's not too slippery. On the north side of the pass there's up to 20 cm of windblown snow with pretty good steps and footing the whole way down and across to the woods.

No avalanche concerns yet -- the snow is still too shallow, and still not fully covering the slopes. The photos attached give you an idea of what to expect if you head there before the next snowfall.
