Kananaskis

The avalanche forecast is trending to LOW at all elevations. The deep persistent problem is one of low propability of triggering but with a very high consequence if it does. Avoid thin or rocky snowpack areas.

Thursday will bring mainly sunny skies, moderate NW winds and a high temperature of -10c.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

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

Surface hoar continues to grow up to treeline elevation. Most of the terrain at treeline and above consists of a hard surface with either some re-crystalized snow or a thin wind crust on top of it.

The November crust is deeply buried down 120--200cm and is more of a concern in thin/rocky snowpack areas.

• Avoid steep terrain that is rocky and thin.
• Avoid steep terrain, including convex rolls, or areas with a thin, rocky, or variable snowpack.
• Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
