[MCR] Rogers Pass: Connaught Creek Skin Track

Just a reminder to folks skiing in the Connaught Drainage up towards Balu Pass to keep the skin track high up against the trim line as you head past the Cheops North #4 and other big north facing avalanche paths.  Reports came in today of skiers feeling an airblast from Cheops North #4, and also that the track is unusually low given the conditions.  With the current wind loading and weak layers in the snowpack, avalanches have the potential to run far.  
Keep your heads up out there.
