Kananaskis

Lots of wind slabs everywhere. In more aggressive terrain these slabs could be sensitive to human triggering.

Monday will be overcast with a high of -4C. Winds will be moderate to strong from the SW, with light flurried accumulating to 5cm or so by the end of the day. Tuesday morning will bring a major cool down with temperatures plunging to -20C. 

Nothing new observed or reported on Sunday.

Wind slabs (both buried and on the surface) are widespread through the region, and are found in virtually all open terrain. If you look really, really hard there is good skiing in very sheltered terrain at lower elevations. The Dec 2 crust produced no results today in snowpack tests, and while forecasters continue to monitor this layer, we have decided to remove it from the "Avalanche Problems" list.......at least for now.

• Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
• Be aware of the potential for large avalanches due to the presence of a persistent slab.
• Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
