[MCR] Rogers Pass - Snow!

Out today for a profile trip in the Abbott Ridge area (permanent winter
closure). 23 cm of storm snow starting to slab and offering a few shooting
cracks. Sporty exit to the valley bottom in the trees with many hazards
including some devil's club. Ski quality was pretty good at treeline and
above, with some upside down powder and skis diving once in a while. Waist
deep on the steeper pitches.

The storm continues, moist and warm. Watch out as the load increases.
