Regions: Little Yoho.

People are taking advantage of the solid conditions for couloir skiing. The main risks in this are falling off or being hit by rocks or cornices falling from overhead. Good planning, spacing and communication between partners is essential.

Weather Forecast

A NW flow aloft continues to keep the region under the influence of cold air, although gradual warming is underway for the weekend.  Expect a high on Thursday of -5, with a weak system crossing the area starting that night. With any luck we will see 5-10 cm of snow on Friday.

Snowpack Summary

The snowpack remains unchanged; locked in place by strong surface crusts up to almost 1800m. Above this, isolated pockets of soft snow can be found on the surface. No shears have been found in the upper snowpack, and no weak layers are currently active. As the temperatures warm this week, watch the overhead hazard for cornice exposure.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches reported or observed today.
