Moist snow still on the backside and on the low angle ledges all over the face
of Yamnuska as of 2pm today. Likely to be some verglas for a day or two,
especially on the backside. Shady places like the last pitch of Belfry looked
wintry. The dry stone felt pretty good though after a bit of sun.
The front ranges you see from Yam still looked very snowy at the treeline and
above. Given the forecast of sun and warmish temps, wet avalanches and rockfall
will likely be a bit of a concern in those hills for a few days. If the weather
forecast is correct, I would work hard to avoid being in the fall line of any
front range snow in the heat of the day through the weekend.
