Kananaskis

Sheltered areas at treeline and below still offer some good skiing. Widespread wind slabs in the alpine.

No new avalanches have been reported.

Widespread wind slabs in the alpine from 10-40cm. On North aspects in Burstall Pass, a hard 10cm thick wind slab was present and sounded hollow. The January 30 interface(crust/facets/surface hoar) is present about 20-40cm down but mostly producing hard test results which were non-planar. The midpack is supportive in most places, but in rocky areas it has become very weak and "punchy" while walking/sking.

• Carefully evaluate big and steep terrain features before committing to them.
• Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
• Avoid steep terrain that is rocky and thin.
