Regions

Jasper, Brazeau, Churchill, Cirrus-Wilson, Fryatt, Icefields, Maligne, Marmot, Miette Lake, Pyramid.

Extreme winds have stripped many areas in the park bare of snow and deposited it into gullies and lee features. Expect to find wind slabs wherever snow has been deposited.

It's early season and many hazards exists below the snow for people trying to get out skiing.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

A few small loose dry avalanches were observed in the Alpine on Saturday.

Snowpack Summary

How to navigate Early Season Conditions

Our field team ventured out to Hilda Ridge on Saturday and found generally supportive travel. Early season hazards exist with snow just covering rocks & trees.

Treeline has 30-55cm of snow. Recent extreme winds have scoured much of the alpine and deposited snow into gullies and lee features making for great variability in snow depth. Alpine bowls & steep gullies are classic spots for early season avalanches.

Weather Summary

Winds in the alpine will remain strong for the next few days but have tapered off from the extreme winds that occurred on Monday. The Icefields is expecting light amounts of precipitation early in the week with potentially up to 20 cm of snow coming on Wednesday evening and Thursday during the day.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful as you transition into wind-affected terrain.

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.
