Jeff Volp (Area Supervisor, Columbia Area Parks and Protected Areas Ministry of Environment Kootenay-Boundary) posted a June 19th photo and the following report:
“about 1.5m of snow at Applebee Dome, half that at the Conrad Kain Hut. A few big trees across the trail, and lots of bear sign...”
Questions:
1. is this a typical snow condition for this time of the year in the Bugaboos, or is this more snow than usual?
2. what type of crampons are best for these conditions?
