Kananaskis

Our neighbours to the North (BNP) are seeing increased natural and skier accidental activity up to size 3. Although they have more snow in there region we are all dealing with very similar snowpack structure. Be cautious out there!

No new

Treeline and alpine windslabs continue to be the main avalanche concern in terms of "triggerability". They are improving with the the relatively warm temperatures, but still expect to find reactive pockets in steep and/or convex terrain. In terms of consequence, the dreaded Nov 5 facets still have a firm grip on the low probability/high consequence title. Some of our neighbours to the west have seen failures on this layer, which suggest loading is a critical factor in when this layer will fail.

Trace amounts of snow tonight and tomorrow. Winds will finally let up a bit and be Northwest 15km/h. The sky's will remain cloudy with partial sunny periods. Day time highs will be slightly cooler with -13

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

• Avoid shallow, rocky areas where the snowpack transitions from thick to thin.
• Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind affected terrain.
• Be aware of the potential for surprisingly large avalanches due to deeply buried weak layers.
