[MCR] Wapta Icefields - Bow hut area

Hello,

Just returned from four days around the Bow hut.

There is currently a little snow on the approach to the hut which is melting fast. Expect a few extra minutes of post holing to reach the hut.

Sunday and Monday mornings had reasonable freezes which allowed us to climb Mt Gordon, Mt Olive and Mt St Nick. There is still plenty of snow on the glaciers, however, it was turning to mashed potatoes by 8am on sunny aspects and lasting a until about 10am elsewhere. Plenty of avalanches were observed from solar aspects in the afternoon. This morning cloudy skies and +5C meant no freeze at the hut and light rain shower came through at mid day.

Expect good conditions with an early start and a freeze or lots of knee deep post holing with out.
