Kananaskis.
Snow amounts of beginning to build in alpine areas. Skiing is not really "there" at this time but ice climbing will get better here over the next few weeks. Keep overhead terrain in your mind and the potential for small slides pushing your off of or into a terrain trap.
Insufficient observations exist to reliably rate the avalanche danger. Expect shallow snow cover with thinly buried rocks and trees just beneath the surface. Avalanche danger often concentrates in gullies and other deposition areas, where wind slabs may bond poorly to a weak underlying base. Deeper snow usually exists at higher elevations. For information on local conditions, watch for Mountain Information Network reports in your region. - https://avalanche.ca/mountain-information-network
Storms over the next few weeks will slowly increase snow depths in the Alpine. Strong winds can cause deeper deposits along gullies and ridgelines so use caution as you move into alpine terrain.
