[MCR] Slocan Ice - Selkirks

Did some poking around today looking for ice and this is what we found:
 
Paradise - In great early season shape
Glade Falls - 1st pitch almost climbable on the right.  2nd and 3rd pitches need more time.
Jacob Creek Falls - 1st pitch not in.  2nd pitch forming well but not climbable yet.
Vanishing Falls - obscured
Upper Slocan Ice above pullout - right pitch looks climbable but approach slab looks sporty with thin ice
Home By Noon - not even close to being in
Just Another Quickie - climbable but lower slab looks sketchy
Enterprise (where we ended up) - tricky approach over deadfall with only about 20cm of snow on the ground.  Ice in good early season (WI 4) shape with some chandelier ice but taking long screws.
