Kananaskis

Brrrr....COLD is the theme. Good skiing can be found at all elevations. Read the snowpack summary before travelling into the alpine.

COLD...Tuesday morning will start out around -27c and warm up to -21c by late afternoon. Expect light winds out of the west with overcast skies and light flurries. Very similar for Wednesday except for the fact that temperatures will drop down to -37c that night.

No new avalanches were observed.

We are looking at about 60cm of settled snow from these recent storms and just over 2m total snow at tree line. The interface with the storm snow is progressively getting stronger but take the time to dig and evaluate this interface before committing to larger features. Some wind effect in the alpine and our usual concerns for lee features and cross loaded gullies. First a global pandemic, and now a Kananaskis snowpack with no depth hoar!!! Who would have thought we'd see both of those in a single lifetime, let alone a single winter?

• Be careful as you transition into wind affected terrain.
• Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
• Avoid areas where the snow feels stiff and/or slabby.
