In sintesi

Low avalanche Danger doesn't mean no avalanche danger.

Watch for solar inputs on Tuesday, possibly increasing the avalanche danger on solar aspects. These effects will be more pronounced on thin steep solar aspects.

Avalanche Summary

No avalanches reported or observed.

Snowpack Summary

There is uncertainty if the warmer air aloft will have impact on the snowpack. If in doubt, it is best to air on the side of caution and avoid exposure to steeper solar aspects.

Some northerly winds have created small isolated windslabs that do not extend far downslope along ridgelines that are overlying a thin melt freeze crust. The snowpack is mainly facetted but generally well settled. Widespread hard windslabs can be found in most open areas at treeline and above. These slabs are stubborn to trigger but if you are in steep thin terrain, you may be able to find a pocket that is reactive.

The Kananaskis valley is generally below threshold in many areas at treeline and below.
