Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Jasper.
Weather Forecast
Above seasonal temperatures in the next few days with daytime temperatures to 3 degrees above zero and below freezing at night. Little snow expected and light winds from the north and northwest are forecasted.
Snowpack Summary
Up to 50cm of more settled snow and several different crusts to near tree line elevations provide a lot of support and good travel in the upper snowpack. These firmer upper layers are resting on 50-75cm of weak, poorly bonded faceted snow crystals. Large loads like surface slides or cornice collapses could possibly trigger the upper snowpack.
Avalanche Summary
No new avalanches were observed or reported today.
Confidence
Timing or intensity of solar radiation is uncertain on Thursday
