[MCR] Rockies-Lake O'Hara area

Snow overnight and as of this afternoon it looks like about 5cm of snow remaining on most aspects above 3000m. Clouds hanging around the peaks all day so it is really variable which faces still are white.

Otherwise DRY. For example, Opabin pass is kinda of ugly right now with ancient ice, LOTS of new loose rock and a 50cm wide crevasse just below the schrund. Lovely.
