Snow Conditions

Fantastic conditions at McDonnell over the weekend, lower snowpack meant more alder bashing and wet creek crossings which takes overall a little more time. 3m plus snowpack on glacier towards McDonnell peak, glacier towards adjacent peaks has visible school bus eating holes, due to glacier recession and lower snow year. 30-40cms of previous storm Snow skied fantastic all the way to valley bottom due to cold temps.sincere trail braking paid off. Blue sky and calm winds.
