Banff Yoho Kootenay

Mt. Bosworth avalanche closure zone is CLOSED on Thursday, January 16th.

High elevation winds have been strong to extreme for the last week, so be on the lookout for windslabs if venturing into high, windy spots.

Deep slabs haven't been observed in days, but a weak snowpack persists in shallow areas - ski the thick, avoid the thin.

Thursday, we expect extreme SW winds accompanied by up to 5 cm new snow.

On Friday, we will see cooling temperatures and easing winds as arctic air moves in for the weekend.
