[MCR] Howsons and Hudson Bay Mountain 14 Feb 06

The Burnie Glacier Chalet reports 25 cm new snow and 30 cm of storm snow this
morning. They hear natural avalanches out of the cliffs on Hut Peak, which is
to be expected. Excellent skiing.

On Hudson Bay Mountain, 14 cm of snow fell with this system. We saw no fresh
avalanches, but were able to ski cut the storm snow in steep terrain. There is
a shear 13 cm down and another below a crust 30 cm down. Good skiing.
