Lo esencial

http://www.pc.gc.ca/apps/scond/Cond_E.asp?oID=30731&oPark=100244Avalanche control today was effective and Highway 93 should reopen on schedule tomorrow.

Problemas de aludes

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible - Likely
    Tamaño
    2–3.5
    Persistent slabs remain a problem, areas that have already cleaned out in the last avalanche cycle pose the least risk.

  • Storm Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible - Likely
    Tamaño
    1–2.5
    Up to 45cm of HST fell through the forecast area, over-loading the already weak persistent slab and running far and fast.

Weather Forecast

Cool arctic air and beautiful blue skies will dominate over the short term and likely into next week. The strength and location of the high pressure system will keep winds lighter, making for a longer period of good travel conditions and the midday sun will make you feel warm if you recreate in the sunny locations.

Snowpack Summary

Cool temps have started to reduce the touchiness of the storm slab throughout the forecast zone. Varied storm snow amts: 10-15cm in the Icefields, 40cm near Mt Wilson, and 30cm north of Beauty creek is sitting on the weak and facetted persistent slab at mid snowpack. Reverse loading from a northerly flow has cross-loaded Alpine features.

Avalanche Summary

Widespread avalanche cycle throughout the forecasted region with numerous to size 3.5 over the last 2 days from all aspects. All elevations saw significant propagation with debris often reaching valley bottom even from ALP start zones.

Confidence

Due to the number and quality of field observations
