Lo esencial

We are starting to report Spring Conditions hazard ratings below treeline.

Patience is key. There is still a winter snowpack in the high mountains and the hazards that go with that.

Problemas de aludes

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Likely
    Tamaño
    1–2

    New windslabs are being formed from south winds and convective flurries.

  • Cornices

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Unlikely - Possible
    Tamaño
    1.5–3

    Changing conditions (solar, new load) may result in cornice failure, acting as a large trigger on the slope below. Avoid overhead exposure containing overhanging cornices.

  • Persistent Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible
    Tamaño
    2–4

    Small avalanches have the potential to step down to this deeper problem layer, made up of buried weaker facets.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

Small windslab avalanches and large natural cornice avalanches have been observed in Jasper or just to the south of Jasper over the last couple of days.

Snowpack Summary

New windslabs are forming from moderate south winds and new snow from convective flurries. The upper snowpack at treeline and below is a series of melt-freeze crusts and moist snow. The mid-pack and lower snowpack is dry, faceted and weak. The alpine and treeline snowpack on north aspects remains dry. Average treeline snow depth is around 100-150cm at the icefields area.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Make conservative terrain choices and avoid overhead hazard.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
