A few centimetres of are expected to fall each day until Wednesday, particularly on higher slopes.

On north-facing slopes, lucky skiers can find some mid-winter-like conditions in shaded areas.

On lower slopes, it's a mixed bag expect to see rain instead of snow and warmer conditions. Lake Louise is also reporting snow towards the base is getting a little thin.
