Avalanche Forecast
Regions: Jasper.
Weather Forecast
Sunday forecasted to have sunny skies with scattered cloud. Alpine high -18 C. No new snow. Light north and easterly winds: 10 km/h. A detailed mountain weather forecast is available from Avalanche Canada.
Snowpack Summary
Cold temperatures have faceted the upper snowpack, leaving no slab over a weakness down 40cm (surface hoar, facets, and/or crust). However, the stronger mid-pack could act as a slab over weak depth hoar, which comprises the lower third of the snowpack. This is pronounced in shallow areas such as Marmot basin back-country and the Maligne range.
Avalanche Summary
Field team in Whistler Creek reporting no new avalanches in area. Previous activity noted in the Alpine on lee features.
