The Akamina Parkway is currently closed to the public for construction work, but will re-open to foot traffic in early December. Regular Avalanche Forecasts will begin on December 2nd.
Enough snow has fallen to create winter like conditions up high. Be on the lookout for pockets of windslab especially where the snow from september did not melt out.
A current overall weather forecast can be found at: https://avalanche.ca/weather/forecast (now with alberta specific information!!), and local forecasts can be found at https://spotwx.com
At upper elevations in the front ranges 20-30cms of recent snow has been moved by strong southwest winds, and now sits on bare ground or remnants of the September snowfall.
Several size 1-1.5 natural wind slab avalanches have been observed on lee areas at all elevations including below treeline in places where September snow remains.
