Regions

Little Yoho.

Huge surface hoar and facets below ~ 1900 m is waiting to be buried by the incoming snow. This layer will be a problem to watch in the future!

Weather Forecast

Clouds will move in tonight and winds will increase to moderate from the SW at upper elevations. Scattered flurries will start on Thursday (a few cm for the day) and freezing levels will climb to 1800 m with the passage of the front. Expect generally unsettled weather for the next several days, with a juicier looking storm starting saturday PM.

Snowpack Summary

Surface hoar, suncrust and surface facets have formed over the past few days. Surface hoar up to 20mm exists up to 1800m in the Emerald Lake area. Above 1800m, south facing terrain is baked into suncrust from the recent sun and warm temps aloft. All other aspects are soft facets. Snowpack depth is about 100cm, with no significant weak layers.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were observed or reported.

Confidence

Intensity of incoming weather systems is uncertain on Saturday
