Banff-East Side 93N-Field-Kootenay-Lake Louise-Little Yoho — Bulletin d'avalanche

Reports are limited, but there have been no recent avalanche observations; only minor sluffing/cracking in steep alpine terrain. The main snowpack concern is small, isolated wind slabs in alpine gullies.

A surface crust to ridgetop. Previous snowfall of 5–15 cm, combined with strong SW–SE winds, has formed wind slabs in the alpine. This snow and wind slabs overlie 20–30 cm of faceted snow at higher elevations. Reports indicate snow depths of up to 80 cm on glaciers, while snow cover remains minimal at treeline and below. Overall, the early-season snowpack is thin and variable.
