Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Little Yoho.
Weather Forecast
Low elevation sites on the BC side of the Rockies have not had a good freeze for a few days, and this will continue through Satruday. Up to 10cm more snow at upper elevations from an upslope storm is expected on Saturday.
Snowpack Summary
5-30 cm of new snow from the past two days has fallen with an uneven distribution in the Little Yoho region. In areas with more storm snow the soft slab is poorly bonded to the melt-freeze crusts or old snow layers below. Below this the snowpack is stable and recent tests have not found any weaknesses. Low elevation snow is becoming isothermal.
