Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Jasper.
Weather Forecast
Continued unsettled weather with light precip overnight Saturday and over the day Sunday. Freezing levels at or near 1700 to 1900m. Alpine low temperatures of -7 overnight and high of -4 for Sunday.
Snowpack Summary
10-15cm of fresh, dense snow has created fresh storm slabs. This came in wet and heavy and has bonded well to a warming, settling snowpack. Deeper persistent instabilities remain a concern in the snowpack but have not produced observable activity recently. Loose wet slides continue to trigger and entrain the accessible snow around.
Avalanche Summary
Wet point release avalanches will continue to be a problem whenever the rain line, freezing levels and solar spikes hit spring normals.Â
