lake ohara chute size 1.5-2
Banff Yoho Kootenay:
Lake Louise,
1 day ago
Observation
Size 1.5-2 wind slab skier triggered in a 30 degree chute near lake O'hara. 4 skiers involved, all fortunately safe. The party was ascending the 30 degree chute, approx 8m wide, and stopped as it began to widen and the snow became more obviously wind affected.

Temple Lake Ridge
Banff Yoho Kootenay:
Lake Louise,
3 days ago
Observation
Ever heard of anybody skiing up this ridge? Well neither have we! Turns out it's unlikely to become a Lake Louise classic ski ascent - at least with the conditions we had. Absolutely heinous trailbreaking in spots, some of the worst I've ever done in my life.

Panorama Ridge
Banff Yoho Kootenay:
Lake Louise,

Observation
some rocks on the lower half of the trail to Taylor and hard packed bordering on icy in spots but nice and wide to allow for snowplowing. The ridge snow was okay, not the best conditions we've skied but still ski-able. A layer about 30 cm down and facets under that.

No direct observations other than these older crowns, but size and complexity convey well the present snowpack issues.

Chickadee Valley
Banff Yoho Kootenay:
Lake Louise,
1 week ago
Observation
Okay riding in chickadee valley, snow was faceted but did notice distinct wind slab near the top when pushing pole down to test snow. Now a lot of snow at all, and previous ski tracks were very hard and crusty.

Narao Trees
Banff Yoho Kootenay:
Lake Louise,
1 week ago
Observation
Very shallow snow pack for this time of year. We battled with lots of brush and thin covered rocks. It was very easy to punch through the new snow and old crust into the 30-50cm of rotten facets. Facets made for soft skiing but made it very easy to sink down to hidden obstacles.
