Regions: Little Yoho.

Alpine ski conditions have been freshened up by new snow.  Skiing at treeline and below will be "rugged" due to breakable crust.  More snow on the way Monday, Tuesday.  SH

Weather Forecast

Light gusting moderate alpine Westerly winds on Sunday with light snow (5cm) of snow starting in the afternoon.  Alpine temperatures will stay in the -10C range over the next 3 days.  Monday and Tuesday look unsettled with 20-30cm in the forecast by Tuesday night.  Keep your fingers crossed.

Snowpack Summary

5-15cm of low density snow in the last 24 hours. The Jan 30 melt/freeze crust can be found up to 2300m (higher on solar aspects). In isolated areas we expect the Dec. 18 surface hoar layer down approximately 50-70cm to remain, but triggering is unlikely. 

Avalanche Summary

No new natural avalanche activity was observed or reported today.
