Kananaskis

We should finally see a bit of snow over the next few days! Unfortunately it won't likely amount to very much, in which case the hazard level will remain unchanged. Keep an eye on local conditions.

High -

Believe it or not there is actually some snow in the forecast! Monday will only be a trace of snow with as much as 5 to 10cm by Wednesday. That's not much, but it's better than nothing! Winds will be moderate from the SW on Monday with temperatures near -8 under cloudy skies. Tuesday will likely be a bit colder and overcast with light flurries.

Nothing new in the past week.

Not much has changed in the snowpack for some time now. The only exception to this would be the continued facetting, particularly of the surface snow. Small wind slabs still exist near alpine ridges in lee and cross-loaded terrain, and if initiated will likely step down into the weak base layers and involve the the full depth of the snowpack.  In steep and unsupported terrain there is still avalanche hazard, despite the very slow start (shallow snowpack) we are experiencing.
