Regions

Little Yoho.

We have transitioned to spring conditions due to Daily Melt-Freeze Cycles . Early starts with early finishes are advised.

Weather Forecast

A good refreeze is forecasted for Sunday night with freezing levels down to valley bottom. Increase cloud cover through the day Monday with freezing levels climbing to 2300m.

Snowpack Summary

A surface crust exist on all aspects below 2300m and high into the alpine on solar aspects. High North aspects are still holding dry powder and some wind effect on exposed lee slopes. Deterioration of these crust have been occurring almost daily, with the extent of the surface moistening depending on solar radiation and freezing levels.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches observed or reported today.

Problems

Loose Wet

Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
