A similar snowfall occurred in the Bugs Sept 5, but by Sept 7 we were
able to climb the Kain Route on Bugaboo in dry conditions except for a
bit of snow on the ledges up high. Sept 8 we climbed Marmolota E Ridge
but that was snowier and slippery and after yesterday is out for the
season I suspect. A couple of sunny days will dry up lower elevation
souths though I bet.
Sept 9 saw hard rain showers and Sept 10 snow in the Bugs. An afternoon
in Lake Louise on the way home Sept 10 saw snow down to the top of
Goblin Wall, mid-station at the ski hill. Drier on the divide than on
the east slope, but still cold and drab!
