Lo esencial

Waterton received 50cm of low density snow in the past 72 h. This should set us up nicely for a great ski season but early season hazards require a cautious approach. The Akamina Parkway is closed as of the the writing of this bulletin.

    Wind Slabs will become the primary hazard early next week as Westerly winds increase.

    50 cm of unconsolidated snow will be easily triggered in steep terrain. The likelihood of loose dry avalanches combined with early season hazards makes skiing a poor choice at the moment.
