[MCR] President, Little Yoho Valley

The last two days have been light rain at tree line and snowing with consistent moderate west winds in the alpine. 
As reported, recent snow accumulation on lee slopes in the alpine was up to 60cm or more in wind effected areas and forming wind slab.
Yesterday we noticed some new large cornice development at ridge top and 2 size 2 slab avalanches 50cm deep out of the higher steep exposed terrain on the north side of the President and Vice President.
