Regions

Little Yoho.

A dusting of snow now overlies the Dec 3 facets & surface hoar. More snow to come... causing the hazard to rise accordingly.

Weather Forecast

Scattered flurries will continue tonight, greater amounts of snow forecast for Bow Summit (up to 8 cm) and freezing levels will climb to 1800 m with the passage of this front. Expect generally unsettled weather for the next several days, with a juicier looking storm starting saturday PM.  Confidence in snow amounts for Saturday is uncertain.

Snowpack Summary

A dusting of snow now overlies the Dec 3rd interface of surface hoar, suncrust and surface facets. The Surface hoar up to 20mm exists up to 1800m in the Emerald Lake area. Above 1800m, due S to SW facing terrain a suncrust exists and other aspects are soft facets or wind hammered snow. Snowpack depth is about 100cm, with no significant weak layers.
