Bow-Yo. April 7-11
Good conditions from Bow Lake to Stanley Mitchell Hut. Crevasses generally well-bridged. Ski pen only 10-15cm on most terrain. 3m+ HS at high point above Collie crevasse field. We encountered wind slab in some lee areas, particularly where you leave the Yoho Glacier to access the ridge to Guy Hut where we released a small slab of storm snow. Isolated Col was in good shape and most parties were climbing up the gut rather than the ridge line. We found great skiing on the line between The President and The Vice President. North aspects were generally good powder. We skied out the Iceline to Emerald Lake where conditions were very poor. All good until Yoho Lake, then we found isothermic conditions from there down to Emerald Lake. Plenty of exposed rock and trees. Travel was slow and frustrating.

Mt Daly-Niles
20-25cm snow on top of thin supportive P hard crust.
Isolated cracking in freshly wind pillowed Isolated-specific locations N-E asp from Wednesdays strong gusty winds.
Evidence of large-v large wet slides in Niles drainage, likely from last weekends warm up.

12cm of new snow on top of a crust. The crust can’t fully support the weight of a skier nor snowboarder at some area. Makes the decent more harduous. We watched an avalanche on skier’s right coming from the overhead cliffs down a really steep shout (natural trigerred from probably corniche and/or new snow from last night and this morning).
Skiing trough the sparse trees at the bottom of the slope is pretty amazing. Still can feel the crust but snow pack is deep enough to be able to ski whithout thinking of bottom hazards.
Signs of an old avalanche size 2.5 is in the pictures. We can clearly see the crown of it and it was triggered from the very top of skiers right. Debris are left at the middle of the way (bottom plateau)

Wapta Icefield/ Bow/Yoho Conditions, April 3-6 2025. Headed into Bow Hut night 1, then Guy Hut for 2 nights, then back to Bow Lake. Weather was sublime, didn't see a cloud for 4 days. The snow held up quite well in the alpine, was a bit worried about daytime heat but it had minimal effect up high on everything but steep south faces. Excellent coverage everywhere. Some wind over the weekend slowly deteriorated ski quality but it remained mostly decent overall. I didn't fully trust the steep big slopes yet but seems that stability is improving overall. Minimal but some natural activity up high. Probed 280cm above The Onion and 320cm at the high point before heading down to Guy Hut. My first time at Guy Hut, quite an interesting route over the ridge, would be exciting in a whiteout. I took photos of everything in the area I could think of, have a look.

Busy up on the Wapta today.
Good over night freeze. Temps were well into the positives by the time we returned to the parking lot around 1:00pm.
Evidence of many slab avalanches from last 48 hours particularly on steep, rocky, unsupported terrain on all aspects. Some wind loading.
Good skiing was found where the snow was cold. Sun effected aspects were starting to develop a crust and becoming heavy lower down.
Coverage on the glacier was much better than expected.

Beautiful day on Top Hat traverse.
Ski crampons are handy to have on the trail in the trees up to about 1800m. We also did a short boot pack on refrozen avy debris within 20min of Hamilton lake due to firm snow and a steep section of trail.
Snow on the upper north facing pitch was excellent dry powder, about 30cm below which a supportive slab starts, as described in the forecast. We stayed away from convex features and broke up the run into sections of supported terrain.
Lots of evidence of large natural avalanches on east facing terrain, steep cliffs and even far skiers right coming off the col. Challenging skiing on frozen avy debris starting around 2100m and on the traverse right above the choke, as well as a section exiting onto the flats. But interspersed with fun corn snow too!
Creek exit was mostly cruisy on firm crust, but sections of the creek have been affected by slides to ground.
