Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Little Yoho.
Weather Forecast
One more day of high pressure with a light Northwest flow brings mostly sunny skies for Friday with temperatures remaining cool (-10 to -20), but this changes on Saturday as an intense 1-day system will cross the area and deposits 10-20 cm of snow with extreme winds in the forecast (>100 km/hr).
Snowpack Summary
In most of Little Yoho there is 60-80 cm of settled snow over top of the Dec10 surface hoar/facet layer. Shears on this layer are generally producing hard but sudden planar results. In shallow areas (lower elevations and Mt. Dennis) the main concern is the weak basal facets which continue to produce whumphing and easy test results.
