Regions

Little Yoho.

New snow in the forecast will improve ski quality, but pay attention as this new snow may sluff easily out of steeper terrain.

Weather Forecast

Overcast skies with light precipitation and and alpine winds in the 30-40 km range forecasted through Friday. Accumulations could range from 5-20 cm by Friday.

Snowpack Summary

2-5 cm new snow sits over 10-20 cm of surface facets at tree-line and below elevations and wind effected snow in alpine. The mid-pack is generally well settled with the various persistent weak layers visible in the snowpack but unreactive to stability tests and ski cutting.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed or reported today.

Problems

Loose Dry

Loose Dry avalanches are the release of dry unconsolidated snow and typically occur within layers of soft snow near the surface of the snowpack. These avalanches start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-dry avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs.
