Travel in the early morning hours and watch for sun-triggered wet loose avalanches.
The recent storm snow may have cycled on Tuesday with afternoon solar input, however, on Wednesday, with the same input wet loose avalanches will still be possible.
No avalanches were observed or reported in Yoho on Tuesday.
There is up to 15cm of settled storm snow at treeline over top of well developed crusts on solar aspects (to ridgetop), and on crusts at all aspects treeline and below. On north facing alpine slopes there is 20-30 cm of dry snow over firmer surfaces. A settled mid-pack sits over the Jan facets down 90 to 150cm, with a well settled lower snowpack below.
Clear skies and light winds bring stable conditions. Valley temperatures will reach near 5°C, while ridgetops remain seasonably cold around -8°C. A cool, quiet pattern for early starts and fast travel.
