Sheltered areas have some good skiing and we have not seen much recent avalanche activity...but watch for wind slabs at higher elevations and stay a bit wary of the mid pack surface hoar layers at treeline in Little Yoho.
Summary
Weather Forecast
The forecast is for periods of snow starting on Monday night and continued flurries through Tuesday and Wednesday with total accumulations of up to 10 cm. Temperatures should stay in the -8 to -15 range at treeline and winds will be moderate to strong out of the West, possibly easing off on Wednesday.
Snowpack Summary
A few cm of new snow Sunday night. Wind effect in open areas at treeline and above with faceted surface snow below treeline. Three mid-pack weak layers of surface hoar and/or facets are down 100-130cm and gaining strength, but are worth keeping in mind on bigger slopes. Thin snowpack areas are facetting and weakening with the cold temperatures.
Avalanche Summary
Reports of thin wind slabs triggered by ski cutting and explosives in lee areas at the local ski resorts. No other recent avalanche observations in the Little Yoho region.
Confidence
Forecast snowfall amounts are uncertain on Wednesday
