Little Yoho

Most models predict the inversion will break down, with temperatures returning to seasonal norms. Freezing temperatures in the alpine should help to stabilize the snowpack, but skiing conditions are likely to be challenging.

No avalanches were observed or reported in Little Yoho today.

The high alpine may have some wind effect, but many sheltered areas have soft snow. The mid-pack is generally strong; however, a facet layer can be found near the ground in shallow snowpack areas. At treeline, average snowpack depth ranges from 110 to 160 cm.

A strong ridge of high pressure is over the region, keeping the skies clear and directing precipitation to the north coast of BC (see image). This pattern will hold for most of this week, with some possibility of snow by Friday or Saturday. For Tuesday expect sunny skies, treeline temps from -15 to -5 with some strong gap winds.
