Regions: Kananaskis.

Regular bulletins have stopped for the season. Summer is right around the corner and the snow pack is dwindling by the day. Large alpine features that still hold snow have yet to go through a large cycle. Watch those areas in the weeks to come.

Avalanche Summary

Snowpack Summary

We are on the verge of the summer season now and the snowpack has either disappeared, or become entirely isothermal. The high alpine is lagging a bit behind, but the freeze/thaw cycles that tend to stabilize the snowpack have been underway for awhile now.

Avalanche Problems

Loose Wet

Increasing overnight temps are preventing good freezes. As spring moves on, snow in steep, confined terrain will be increasingly likely to avalanche. Even if the feature has run previously, there is a good chance the remaining snow will avalanche.
Avoid areas with overhead hazard.>

Aspects: All aspects.

Elevations: Alpine, Treeline.

Likelihood: Very Likely

Expected Size: 1 - 4
