Mountain Conditions Report, or MCR for short.
PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY.
The information provided in the Mountain Conditions Report consists of
field observations made by professional guides who are members of the
Association of Canadian Mountain Guides. We endeavour to provide a
weekly synopsis every Thursday evening or Friday morning which
summarizes general conditions. All reports and synopses are prepared
and submitted on a volunteer basis and the ACMG provides
administrative and technical support to make public presentation of
this information possible. The goal of making this information
available to the public is to assist recreational mountaineers in
planning their trips and aid the process of making reasonable,
informed decisions when in the field.
This product is in the early stages of development. In the interests
of providing information to the public, we are releasing this as a
beta version which we know can be improved. We expect the Mountain
Conditions Report to evolve in the coming days, weeks, and months.
Your feedback and comments on how to make the MCR more useful and
easier to use are welcome. Send your ideas to the ACMG Executive
Director: ed@acmg.ca.

guides and instructors who are members of the Association of Canadian

DISCLAIMER
Climbing and mountaineering are dangerous. It is impossible to
eliminate all risks. The information provided by the Mountain
Conditions Report alone is no guarantee that safety will be increased.
Ensure you have adequate training and experience before attempting any
objective.
Reports and synopses of the Mountain Conditions Report are not
verified. Observations and opinions presented here are those of the
person who submitted them. The ACMG and its members take no
responsibility for errors, omissions, or or lapses in continuity that
may exist in the information.
USING THE MOUNTAIN CONDITIONS REPORT INFORMATION
Conditions will differ greatly over time and space; due to the
variable nature of mountain weather and terrain you should expect and
look for signs that things are worse or perhaps better than indicated
in the reports presented here. In some cases conditions will change
very quickly (in a matter or minutes or hours). It is also possible
to find significant variation over relatively small distances
(sometimes just a few metres). Do not use the information provided by
the Mountain Conditions Report as the sole factor in planning trips or
making decisions in the field. Above all, stay within your limits and
use common sense.
