Low danger means "small avalanches in isolated areas or extreme terrain". We expect these areas to be south & west facing slopes in the afternoon, as well as open, alpine slopes with a shallow snowpack. Travel below treeline is frozen solid.
Summary
Weather Forecast
A NW flow over BC and Alberta is keeping the air cool with no significant precipitation expected in the next few days. Highs for Thursday of -9 with light winds and a mix of sun and clouds. Clear skies and sun result in strong solar radiation this time of year, so pay attention to the snowpack if the sun is shining on it.
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.
