Kananaskis

Choose your objective with the cold weather in mind. Good skiing can be found at all elevations. 

• Be careful as you transition into wind affected terrain.
• Be careful with wind slabs, especially in steep, unsupported and/or convex terrain features.
• Avoid areas where the snow feels stiff and/or slabby.

More COLD...Tuesday morning will start out around -29c and warm up to -20c by early afternoon. Expect winds out of the west at 30-40km/hr with a mix of sun and cloud. Very similar for Wednesday except for the fact that temperatures will drop down to -36c that night. Having an equipment or body breakdown in this cold can suddenly feel pretty real, pretty fast.  

No new avalanches were observed.

We are looking at about 60cm of settled snow from these recent storms and just over 2m total snow at tree line. The interface with the storm snow is progressively getting stronger but take the time to dig and evaluate this interface before committing to larger features. Some wind effect in the alpine and our usual concerns for lee features and cross loaded gullies.
