Lo esencial

Wind slabs are a concern in isolated alpine lee features.

Ski quality has been affected by the recent winds but good riding can still be found on sheltered tree line and below tree line slopes.

Early season hazards are also still a significant concern out there, coverage is very thin in many areas.

    Moderate westerly winds have redistributed snow in the alpine, and formed wind slabs in isolated leeward features.

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been observed or reported in the past few days.

Snowpack Summary

3-4 cm of fresh snow found in the Icefields Parkway.
In sheltered areas 30 cm of soft facetted snow overlies a supportive snowpack to ground. A 2cm thick crust is present halfway down the snowpack but has only been observed at tree line elevations.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Seek out wind sheltered terrain below treeline where you can avoid wind slabs and find great riding.
  • Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
