Little Yoho.
We will start daily forecasts with danger ratings once we have observations. It will be a long trek to get to snow line in this area, but climbers and tourers should be in full winter mode in alpine avalanche terrain as there's more snow than usual.
Overnight temperatures at or just below freezing overnight with cooler temperatures on the way for Monday. Some light snow this weekend with the possibility of more significant snowfall Monday along and West of the divide.
15-30 cm in the alpine in the last 36 hours with warm temperatures. At 2300 m there is 40-60 cm of well consolidated early season snow that carries well for travel. No significant weak layers in the snowpack, but expect isolated wind loading in alpine gullies where the soft snow has been blown into. Little to no snow below treeline.
We have not had any observations in this area. We have only toured around the Bow Summit area East of the divide so our observations are very limited. It is not a stretch to assume there will be plenty of sloughing in the short term on the steep alpine faces and gullies with the new snow.
