Regions

North Rockies, East Kakwa, Kakwa, McGregor, Pine Pass, Tumbler.

Generally safe avalanche conditions. Evaluate steep lines for pockets of wind slab, even small avalanches can have serious consequences in extreme terrain.

Confidence

Moderate

Avalanche Summary

No recent avalanche activity has been reported.

Snowpack Summary

A dusting of new snow falls over widespread crusty surfaces on all but high north-facing alpine terrain, where snow is dry and likely wind affected. There are no deeper concerns at this time.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Carefully evaluate steep lines for wind slabs.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • When a thick, melt-freeze surface crust is present, avalanche activity is unlikely.
