Some great skiing to be had in Jasper right now, but it is still a good idea to gather info on smaller terrain features before committing to the bigger lines.
Summary
Weather Forecast
Cool temps to remain until the weekend, with minimal wind and light scattered flurries. Daytime heating and solar radiation will increase towards the weekend, and will increase the avalanche danger.
Snowpack Summary
The recent storm snow appears to be bonding well to previous surfaces, and has been subjected to minimal wind affect. At lower elevations, this storm snow is sitting on a weak and faceted midpack. There is a lot of snow that is plastered to steep rocky terrain that will most likely sluff once the sun hits it in the afternoon.
Avalanche Summary
Monday's explosive control work produced some size 3 soft slabs in the Icefields and Maligne lake alpine areas. They slid on the storm snow interface. A few dusted the highway. Gullies above polar circus were 85% cleaned out with control work. No new slab avalanches were observed or reported today.�
