Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Little Yoho.
Weather Forecast
Light snow is expected Friday with more wind and cold temperatures. This is unlikely to significantly change the avalanche danger rating in the short term.
Snowpack Summary
Windslabs are common in open areas with loading on easterly aspects. Commonly, a deep slab overlies midpack weaknesses of surface hoar, crusts, and facets. The depth of these slabs varies from 75 cm to 150 cm. These layers have been producing very large avalanches over the past week.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches were noted in Yoho today. Several were noted nearby in Banff, associated with increased winds.
