Snowpack Summary

Some surface faceting of the recent 30cm of low density snow in the ice fields area. (less in Jasper town area) Previous reverse loading may have created wind slabs in the immediate lee in the alpine. This new snow is sitting on a variety of surfaces from wind scoured in the alpine to preserved surface hoar in the protected treeline features.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches observed or reported. No field observations for several days.

Confidence

Due to the number of field observations
