[MCR] Selkirk Lodge

Just Got back from a week of guiding at Selkirk lodge with Robson Gmoser.  Lots of snow up there.   250 to 300 cm at tree line and about 350 to 400 cm on the glaciers.  It snowed about 60 cm during the week.

Our Main concern was the Strong winds up high which formed Wind Slab.  The skiing was excellent once you got down 300 feet from  the ridge tops.  We had no concern of deep instability because there was so much snow.  We still stayed away from big Alpine features, and anywhere where it looked shallow.

Be safe!
