Little Yoho

In this region, a deeper than usual snowpack and benign weather pattern have resulted in stable avalanche conditions.

No new avalanches reported in this forecast region.

There is extensive wind effect in the alpine, with some surface faceting that may help break down crusts, creating softer skiing. In protected areas, at treeline and below, there is widespread surface hoar, covered by 3 to 10cm of light snow.

Deeper in the snowpack, there is a spotty Jan 3 layer of surface hoar down 50-70 cm, but no recent avalanches on this layer have been reported.

Little change in the forecast for the next few days. We will see a slight, gradual warming of temperatures, with little to no precipitation and moderate westerly ridge winds. In the long-range forecast, some snow accumulation is expected starting Friday.
