Regions

Kananaskis, Bow Valley, Highwood Pass, North 40, Spray - KLakes.

Continued cooling in the snowpack will give a good crust recovery, watch for this crust to break down with daytime warming or direct solar input.

Avalanche Summary

Nothing reported today.

Snowpack Summary

More cloud cover on Saturday kept the solar effect minimal. In any case, the surface remains a mixed bag of crusts & old windslabs. The top 20cm is basically a tired and worn out snow pack from weeks of consistent sun/wind exposure. On the brighter side, most, if not all the trouble layers have been dealt with and as time goes on are ranking lower and lower on our list of avalanche problems. Surface hoar remains buried and unreactive down 40cm and the deeper Nov crust is a distant memory some 120cm down. Our stage is set for a pretty good refresh when we do get snow.

Weather Summary

Forecast models are calling for anywhere between 0-8cm of snow by Sunday morning.

Sunday will see mostly cloudy skies and a day time high of -6

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Avoid steep, sun-exposed slopes when the air temperature is warm or when solar radiation is strong.

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.
