Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Jasper.
Weather Forecast
The stable forecast with light winds, warm daytime temperatures and good overnight freezing will persist for a couple more days. Snow is forecasted for higher elevations (above 2000m) and rain at lower elevations on Friday.
Snowpack Summary
A strong rain crust forms the surface at treeline and below. Up to 35cm of storm snow overlies a variable snowpack above treeline. Soft wind slabs have formed on lee aspects as a result of previous, strong SW winds. The deep persistent weakness (basal facets and depth hoar) make up the base of the snowpack.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches observed.
Confidence
