Little Yoho

Some small wind slabs can still be found in extreme terrain, but otherwise conditions are quite good.

Also, we expect a "Cold and Snowy scenario" until at least the end of the week.

Thursday will only be a couple degrees warmer than Wednesday with highs of -10C at 2200m. The North East flow will stay in place until Friday. No significant wind values are expected, generally light to moderate. Unsettled weather could bring small amounts of precip late on Thursday, but very little accumulations.

10-20 cm of variable density snow sits on a firm crust on N aspects. On solar aspects expect a variety of breakable crust and firm crusts that carry the weight of a skier, boarder or walker. Within the snowpack, a series of crusts exist at all elevations. Ski crampons are advisable.

Teams from the Wapta have reported seeing numerous large cornice failures in the past few days. Most of the reported cornice failures did not release any slabs after impact. Otherwise, no new avalanches were observed or reported.
