Kananaskis

Not much has changed in the past 2 weeks with regards to avalanche danger. Having said that, still be mindful when you travel and keep thinking about terrain and consequences.

No avalanches reported or observed.

This season's snowpack is shallow and facetted. Eastern areas have very weak snowpacks (sometimes not holding the weight of a skier) while areas further west are stronger, even while still being mainly facets. Snow depths at Treeline range from 60 to 120cm. The early season crusts at the base of the snowpack have largely broken down. In isolated locations in the Alpine there are pockets of wind slab. These may be more sensitive to triggering in steep and unsupported terrain. Watch for crust on steep solar aspects. Overall, skiing isnt the best activity to consider at this time...

• Watch for areas of hard wind slab on alpine features.
• Avoid steep terrain that is rocky and thin.
