Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Jasper.
Weather Forecast
Cloudy with clear periods and isolated flurries overnight, though really only a trace of new expected. Good cooling overnight. Wake up to scattered clouds and glorious sunshine with increasing clouds over the day. Light winds and freezing level rising at 2000m (roadside at Parkers or TL in the Bald hills).
Snowpack Summary
New windslab on open slopes above 2400m. Dryer surface snow on polar aspects over a solid mid-pack bridging the weak base above 2000m. The base is a combination of weak facets and depth hoar mixed around a Nov rain crust. A consistent melt-freeze cycle is occurring below tree line.
Avalanche Summary
Several large windslab avalanches around 2400 m on x-loaded gulley features and steep lee slopes observed south of Icefields on Friday. Nothing new reported or observed on Saturday.
