Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Jasper.
Weather Forecast
Next few days will be mainly dry, seasonal temperatures, light winds, and very light flurries.
Snowpack Summary
There is great variation in depth and location of the wind slabs. They continue to build and harden from gusting moderate to strong SW winds. These slabs appear to have bonded well. In windswept areas in the alpine and at tree line, the November rain crust has been exposed along with dirt and rocks. Cornices are well developed.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches have been observed or reported since the end the cycle that ended on Monday. In that cycle, slab avalanches to size 3 were observed on NE aspects at alpine and tree line elevations, several stepped down to the basal facet layer. Large cornice failure triggered large avalanches on the basal facet layer as well.
Confidence
The weather pattern is stable
