Regions

Jasper, Brazeau, Churchill, Cirrus-Wilson, Fryatt, Icefields, Maligne, Marmot, Miette Lake, Pyramid.

Low hazard doesn’t mean zero risk.
Ice climbers: pay attention to conditions high above you— even minor spindrift from steep cliffs can carry serious consequences.

Skiers: remember that even small avalanches can have major impacts in complex terrain.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been observed in the last few days.

Snowpack Summary

Up to 5 cm of soft snow is covering various old surfaces: sun crust on solar aspects to mountain tops, melt freeze crust up to tree line on all other aspects, and wind affected snow in the alpine and exposed tree line.
End of January surface hoar is buried under 5- 10 cm of snow and is quite patchy in its presence in the region.
The rest of the snowpack is generally dense and well consolidated.

Weather Summary

Friday

Cloudy with sunny periods and isolated flurries. Precipitation: Trace.

Alpine temperature: High -6 °C. Ridge wind southwest: 15 km/h gusting to 45 km/h. Freezing level at valley bottom.

Saturday

Flurries. Accumulation: 7 cm. Alpine temperature: Low -11 °C, High -7 °C. Mostly light ridge wind occasionally gusting to 35 km/h. Freezing level at valley bottom.

Sunday

Cloudy with sunny periods. Precipitation: Nil. Alpine temperature: Low -16 °C, High -12 °C. Ridge wind west: 10-30 km/h. Freezing level at valley bottom.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
