[MCR] Bear Spirit

Aaron Beardmore and I spent a recreational day climbing at Bear Spirit
today. There are 3 flows of ice, with the ice quality varying from a
fair bit of wet, aerated chandeliers to some good plastic ice. The
mixed lines have the best ice and are in good nick.

Light snow all day, with 5 cm of low density easy shovelling in my
driveway before dinner tonight. 10 cm at Lake Louise ski hill today
apparently, with good skiing reported. Just stay in-bounds, it's been
touchy out there with several skier triggered avalanches in the Lake
Louise backcountry the past few days.
