Avalanche Forecast
Avalanche Bulletin - Little Yoho
Good ski quality in sheltered areas in Little Yoho. Although conditions are improving, we are still leery to head into larger alpine features. It will take a bit of time yet to increase our confidence.

Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches reported or observed in the last 48 hours.
Snowpack Summary
Wind effected surface snow and settling storm snow overlies three mid- pack weak layers 100-130cm down that are gaining strength. These layers continue to produce moderate, sudden planar test results on surface hoar in deep tap tests, and hard to no results with standard compression tests. Thin snowpack areas are degrading/facetting in the cold.
Weather Forecast
Light snowfall, gusty winds, and and gradually warming temperatures each day this week will hold the avalanche forecast steady.
