[MCR] Monashee Mountains - Mt. Macpherson Dec.15-06

Big dump overnight Thursday (30-40cm. in Revelstoke) made driving anywhere to ski Friday out of the question – so I spent the day on Mt. Macpherson just outside of Revelstoke on the Monashee side of the valley. 80cm.ski penetration off the trail made for exceptionally deep skiing with no sign of slabbing in the new snow. There had been a few loose snow sluffs (small avalanches) that had run into the top of the gullies but they didn’t go far or amount to much.

 

Today is bluebird so I am sure that people are going to venture up high for the first time since this series of storms hit us – hopefully the cooler temps will have tightened up the snowpack a bit but watch out for those windslabs from earlier this week.

 

Play safe,
