[MCR] Mt. Hector, Lake Louise Area, Rockies

While general coverage on the Hector glacier remains decent @ 2m+ in most areas, there are also numerous exposed crevasses. Of note, some of these are covering over in such a way that they are quite difficult to see from above. There are also a number of very deep exposed holes.

The surface hoar layers are covered by hard slabs of variable thickness and density up high.

Ski conditions down low are rugged.
