Kananaskis

Travel is fairly easy right now with the frozen crust which has about 10-20cm on it. This crust can be a sliding hazard on steeper lines.

Wednesday will bring a mix of sun and cloud with a high of -16c in the alpine. Winds are expected at 10km/h from the NE. After that we are looking at some clear sunny days.

More details can be found in the Mountain Weather Forecast.

• Avoid areas with a thin or variable snowpack.
• Back off if you encounter whumpfing, hollow sounds, or shooting cracks.
• Be carefull with sluffing in steep terrain, especially above cliffs and terrain traps.

One small size 1 natural loose dry avalanche was observed on steep alpine terrain that started in non-skiable terrain.

Monday night's storm left us with a whopping 2-4cm. Now we are looking at 10-20cm of loose snow over the Feb 3 crust. This crust is anywhere from 0.5cm to 5cm thick up to 2500m and is on the thinner side on North aspects. Natural sluffing has subsided but can still gain momentum with skier traffic on steeper slopes. Some wind slab development in the alpine have been reported but so far, it is quite isolated to the higher alpine features. Ski quality is dust on crust in the alpine. The depth of the snowpack still varies from 70-130cm.
