[MCR] Revelstoke and Rogers Pass Conditions - September 15

The snowline is down to 1800m (below Grizzly Shoulder elevation)in Rogers Pass
this morning, and to 'The Burn' on Mount Macpherson south of Revelstoke.

There was 10 cm of snow in Balu Pass yesterday morning (Sept 14) on my way into
Nakimu Cave, and with last night's storm there is probably 20+ cm on the ground
today (Sept 15).

Conditions aren't very good for quartzite alpine climbing.
