Avalanche season is upon us. Due to a thin snowpack, glacier travel is also at its trickiest. Use our Weather Stations, the ACMG Mountain Condition Report, and the MIN for conditions; or ask for Visitor Safety at 780-852-6155

Avalanche Summary

Avalanche danger is highest after new snowfall, rain, or wind events - expect increased avalanche activity during, and for 24hrs after such events. Use extra caution where slabs overlie alpine ice. Do your own avalanche forecasting; carry a transceiver, shovel & probe, and practice your companion rescue skills!

Snowpack Summary

Use caution in alpine areas as they gain enough snow for avalanches. Bowls, gullies, and ridge crests are classic spots for early season avalanches. Many open crevasses are hidden by thin bridges of wind-blown snow. Roping up, diligent probing, and experience are critical for glacier travel. More info on early season conditions here.

Weather Summary

Winter has arrived in the alpine, and is making it's way down into the valleys. Use Avalanche Canada's Mountain Weather Forecast to see what's coming.
