Lake Louise.
Early season conditions are present with a thin snowpack, lots of variability in snow depth, and plenty of lurking hazards to hit.
No new avalanches observed or reported.
A light dusting blankets previously wind-affected surfaces in the alpine. The thin snowpack is quickly facetting with the recent cool temperatures and surface hoar growth is occurring. A sun crust can be found on the South aspects near treeline. 50-80 cm of total snow at treeline throughout the region, with up to 120 cm in loaded alpine features. Below treeline, the snowpack is generally below the threshold for avalanches.
The temperature inversion will continue overnight Saturday and into Sunday with alpine temps staying near -2C. Sunday will begin with mainly clear skies as the ridge of high pressure persist. By late Sunday a westerly flow will move in with high clouds and ridge winds of up to 50km/h. No new precip is expected for the next 48H. For more info, see https://avalanche.ca/weather/forecast
