Regions: Little Yoho.

Cloudy conditions should limit the amount of afternoon solar related avalanche activity, but watch locally for increasing avalanche danger on solar aspects if the sun pokes out. SH

Weather Forecast

Freezing levels down to 1500m Friday AM rising to 2100m Friday.  5-6cm of snow expected over the day with light S winds.

Snowpack Summary

Supportive crust on solar aspects in morning which are deteriorating by early afternoon. High elevation north aspects still have dry snow. Mid and lower pack is well settled with no significant shears.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanche activity was reported today.  Cloudy conditions prevented the regular afternoon solar cycle from occurring.

Avalanche Problems

Cornices

Many large cornice failures have occurred over the past week, which may trigger avalanches when the snowpack is isothermal or wet.

  • Pay attention to overhead hazards like cornices.

Aspects: North, North East, East, South East.

Elevations: Alpine.

Likelihood: Possible

Expected Size: 2 - 3
