[MCR] Whistler Backcountry Conditions

We skied a few runs in the Flute and Oboe area on the 13th. At 1900m there was ~30cm of new snow on top of last weeks crust. This new snow tapered to about 10cm at 1600m. We did not see any new avalanches. Cornices were growing rapidly and we observed only cracking in the top 20cm in wind affected areas.

So nice to ski powder again!
