[MCR] Howsons 7 Jan 07

A heavy storm began last night and continues at 1800 hours on the 7th.
Strong NW upper winds, strong variable winds and gusts on the ground.
We received 30 cm of dense snow overnight and it snowed steadily all
day. Temperatures are below freezing. Large natural avalanches could
run full path and skier triggering is very likely in avalanche
terrain. I would not recommend travel in terrain that could be exposed
to avalanches at all at this time.
