Regions

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

Low danger is not no danger.
Small avalanches can have big consequences in complex terrain.

Confidence

High

  • We are confident due to a stable weather pattern.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been observed in the last few days.

Snowpack Summary

2-5cm of recent snow overlies a melt freeze crust to mountaintop on solar aspects and up to around tree line elsewhere, as well as widespread wind effect from previous strong winds and warm temperatures. A weak layer of surface hoar and facets is down 10-20cm, which is most problematic in areas with wind loading. Below, the snowpack is generally dense and well consolidated. A less dense layer of facets exists at the bottom of the snowpack.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Be careful with wind-loaded pockets, especially near ridge crests and rollovers.

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.
