| Guided the east to west hike/scramble over Mt Yamnuska today, May 27th. Looks like the backside was basically dry with only a few small snow patches, but that was before today. Rained and snowed on us all day. 3 centimeters of new snow blanketing the backside. Snow down to the cliff bottom on the front side, then wet scree 50 meters lower. Looks like a bunch more snow coming tonight. I think that it will take a couple of days to melt off once the sun comes out. Front side trails are muddy ... surprise, surprise.
