Summary

Weather Forecast

Friday looks to be a repeat of today's weather, with a mix of sun and cloud and temperatures staying cool (-5 to -15 range). No precipitation is expected, along with light winds. Looks like clear skies and a nice day coming for Saturday.

Snowpack Summary

A generally deeper and well settled snowpack exists in the Little Yoho region compared to East of the divide. There are areas with basal facets in shallow snowpack areas but we have seen little activity on this layer. Below 2000m, breakable melt-freeze crust transitions to bullet proof melt-freeze crust making for rugged skiing.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches were reported today in Little Yoho.
