[MCR] Resplendent Mountain

I attempted Resplendent Mountain with one client and a Practicum March 26
to 29th. We did the long approach from the parking lot to Berg Lake. I
May consider a helicopter in the future. We skied all the way to 2600
meters and we stopped due to weather moving in and the ceiling dropping
down lo. At 5:00 a.m when started was a beautiful morning . The
snowpack consisted of anywhere from 100 cm at the toe of the glacier to
250-275 cm up higher where we stopped. The skiing quality was excellent
(boot top powder). The temperatures ranged from-15C to -3C depending on
your elevation and time of day. I noticed couple fractures on solar
Aspects that were a few days old, other than that no other avalanches.
