Kananaskis

With clear skies and fresh snow, motivation will be high tomorrow. Don't be complacent, remember to asses the latest wind loading patterns and have a look at the most recent crust.

A few mid storm avalanches were noted in alpine, east aspects, but these have subsided throughout today. A morning control run had underwhelming results with only soft slabs reacting.

Another 10-20cm came last night with storm snow totals in the 30-50cm range at treeline. The March crust is down 40-60cm and still apparent at lower elevations. There has been some new wind slab development in the last 24 hours, but not as much as expected. The alpine continues to be the most problematic for fresh windslabs. Today remained cool with little sun effect on solar slopes.

Tomorrow will feel more like spring than the last few days. Mostly clear skies with a few clouds building in the afternoon. Temperatures will start around -14°, bit warm up quickly in the afternoon. Daytime high of -3°. Southwesterly winds will be light, but gusty in the afternoon.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

• Continue to make conservative terrain choices while the storm snow settles and stabilizes.
• Recent strong wind means wind slabs may be found farther downslope than expected.
