Kananaskis

Up to 40cm of snow came in by Thursday morning. Polar aspects are holding dry snow & solar aspects are settling rapidly the moment the sun hits them. Still great coverage and travel for this time of year.

Only minor loosed dry avalanches were seen today. These sorted themselves out and stopped by midday.

Variable amounts of storm snow in the past 48 hours. As of this afternoon treeline polar aspects had 40cm, while treeline solar aspects had 20cm settled snow. Overall valley bottom has 10cm of settled, moist snow by 3pm today. North winds today managed to reverse load some ridgeline areas, but nothing crazy. Immediate lees had small fresh windslabs with minor cracking.

We may see some flurries overnight, but nothing significant precipitation wise in the next few days. Mostly cloudy tomorrow with a daytime high of -3, light winds and some solar effect sneaking through the cloud cover.

• Be especially cautious as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
• Pay attention to isolated wind affected features in the alpine, as well as cross-loaded features at treeline.
