Lo esencial

Good riding conditions reported in both the Icefields and Maligne areas. Remain cautious when negotiating and assessing areas with obvious wind effect.

Problemas de aludes

  • Wind Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Possible
    Tamaño
    1–2.5

    Wind effect and windslab are common through the region with some reactivity in the immediate lee.

  • Loose Dry

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

    Ice Climbers, be cautious in areas where loading has stressed the snowpack. Top outs and ledges may be particularity sensitive due to new snow and transport winds.

  • Deep Persistent Slabs

    • Alta montaña
    • Límite del bosque
    • Bajo el límite del bosque
    Probabilidad
    Unlikely - Possible
    Tamaño
    1.5–3.5

    Little recent activity on this layer. More likely to initiate this layer in combination with accidently triggering a surface instability.

Avalanche Summary

Blue skies and unlimited views in the Park today. Numerous, older (-24/48 hrs) loose dry in the alpine, up to size 2 in both the Ice and Maligne zones. A natural, older cornice release up to sz 2 observed, entraining HST from steep lee features and isolated windslabs with no propagation.

Weather Forecast

A cold, trough will move in from the SW this evening. Convective flurries may produce an additional trace over east front ranges. A cold front will follow and drop down from the north and start to impact the northern region by Monday afternoon when a second, stronger system pushes in on Tuesday.

Snowpack Summary

Moderate SW winds transporting available fetch to lee aspects forming new windslab and encouraging loose, dry releases from steep terrain through the region. The Icefields has a well bridged mid pack overlying basal facets and depth hoar. The northern region is weaker and shallow; bridging over the basal weakness is less reliable, especially BTL.
