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.
