Regions: Jasper.
Weather Forecast

Snowpack Summary
The light precipitation amounts this weekend was not enough to alter the snowpack. It remains shallow with a variably distributed deep persistent slab overlying weak basal layers of depth hoar, crusts, and facets. Windslabs of various thicknesses continue to form in lee locations at treeline and above areas. Below treeline remains unsupportive.
Avalanche Summary
Saturday, four slab avalanches size 2.5-3 was observed in the alpine on a West aspect in shallow rocks, and steep unskiable terrain at 2700m running on basal weakness. The avalanches were restricted to a small zone between Boundary peak and Panther falls along the Parkway. Visibility was poor on Sunday.
