Regions

Jasper.

A good freeze overnight should help keep the hazard low most places on Sunday. Watch for rising temperatures, and progressively worse overnight recovery during next few days.

Weather Forecast

Parkers Ridge area

Sunday: Sunny with cloudy periods. Precip Nil. High 1 C. Mostly light ridge wind occasionally gusting to 35 km/h. Freezing level: 2400 metres.

Monday: A mix of sun and cloud with isolated flurries. Precip Trace. Low -2 C, High 2 C. Mostly light ridge wind occasionally gusting to 40 km/h. Freezing level: 2400 metres.

Snowpack Summary

5cm of new snow overlies a thin sun crust on steep solar aspects, and 5-15cm of fist snow over previous wind effected surfaces or supportive crusts depending on elevation and aspect. Some redistribution in the alpine from short duration moderate SW winds over the week.

Avalanche Summary

Consult the Mountain Information Network for recent observations, and please consider submitting a MIN report if you observe any new activity.

Confidence

Freezing levels are uncertain on Tuesday

Problems

Loose Wet

Loose Wet avalanches are the release of wet unconsolidated snow or slush. These avalanches typically occur within layers of wet snow near the surface of the snowpack, but they may quickly gouge into lower snowpack layers. Like Loose Dry Avalanches, they start at a point and entrain snow as they move downhill, forming a fan-shaped avalanche. Other names for loose-wet avalanches include point-release avalanches or sluffs. Loose Wet avalanches can trigger slab avalanches that break into deeper snow layers.
