Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Jasper.
Weather Forecast
Seasonal temperatures until Saturday with flurries and light accumulation. Winds light from the West except stronger at higher elevations. On Sunday, cold clear air invades.
Snowpack Summary
Wind slab forming on lee alpine ridge lines and open exposed tree line slopes. Good bonding is apparent between the new snow and that beneath. The interface between the strong mid-pack and weaker basal facets is most susceptible to human triggering from shallow rocky areas.
Avalanche Summary
No avalanches reported today. We did, however, receive numerous calls this morning from local residents reporting sleigh and reindeer tracks on snow covered roof tops.Â
