Mt. Athabasca North Face

Published: May 9th, 2026

Once on the glacier, we observed good crust recovery, with boot penetration of ~10cm. We found evidence of a strong refreeze the night before. The schrund was easily bypassed on the left side of the face, with supportive snow for nice bucket steps most of the way up the north face. Higher on the face, we found the snow was well bonded to the underlying ice, making for nice climbing conditions. The crux mixed pitch had a mix of snow and ice on it. We found 10cm ice screws useful on the crux pitch. On the final exit pitch we also found short ice screws useful. There is some cornice growth on the summit ridge of Athabasca. During our descent of the ramp route we found bare ice, bare scree and supportive snow. The snow on the ramp was supportive, and temps well below freezing when we descended late Saturday night.

Silver Nealry

Published: Apr 29th, 2026

Went as a group of 5 2 went up silver horn 3 up climbers right up the N face of silver horn No summits (late start) The ride down to the end of plateau was amazing Full posthole on the bergshrund on climbers right on the approach to silver horn There was a big slide (serrac failure I guess) you can see the path in a photo easily avoidable run out zone Once the sunset it got super stiff as the snowpack froze quite quickly, but higher up was great soft snow. Few patches on the silverhorn route where the snow is too deep to find ice and a few patches where the snow sits on the ice but hasn’t bonded Got a little warm layer about 3-5cm deep on the surface but nothing concerning

Jasper

Published: Apr 30th, 2026

Pow on north around 2600m. Some small windslabs formed. Windy at times redistributed pow. Friendly reminder if you’re ski plans while camping get delayed due to weather or refreeze. Be sure to update anyone expecting your return

Slipstream

Published: Apr 28th, 2026

Climbed Slipstream on April 28th. We started from our camp below the route at 0600, topping out around 1330 and returning to camp around 1900 before packing up and heading to the road. Below about 2400m there’s a hard melt freeze crust, supportive to ski travel but with 5-15cm foot pen. The snow on route was wind and spindrift hardened, with intermittent spindrift (to size 1) down the route starting around 0700. The sun hit the top of the route by 0730-0800, and the snow in the upper bowl was quite moist and was balling underfoot when we got there around 1230. Up top on the Icefields it’s pretty windswept, with 0-15cm foot penetration in sastrugi. We rappelled the icefall between Snow Dome and Little Snow Dome; the north-aspect glacier below had boot top dry powder from 3000m down to 2400m around 1700. Plenty of buried serac debris in there though!

Wholly Sastrugi

Published: Apr 28th, 2026

South Ridge of Mt. Andromeda. The Athabasca Glacier ramp detour route is in excellent shape, with 2–3 m snow depths. Skiing down the south ridge requires a mouthguard and strong knees—the sastrugi game is real. Anything below 2400 m on the ramp turned into nice, soft spring snow by the afternoon. We did not observe any recent avalanche activity; however, there was fresh-looking serac debris on the ramp below the frequent flyer.

Saskatchewan Glacier Poddle

Published: Apr 25th, 2026

Very wind affected, pockets of 2-3cm of powder, glacier is good to cross straight down middle, complete sheet of ice covering top. Couldn’t probe. At nève, wind affected snow but powder also.

Free hole

Published: Apr 23rd, 2026

Free hole in the ground. Was a lot of beautiful powder that would have been amazing riding if we could see more than 5M infront of ourselves. Dug a very nice snow cave instead. The 2nd crevase bypass is still in and the snow bridge that was there (and was stable on Jan2nd is now bomber) Saw no recent activity from the cereeace (can’t spell) off of little snowdome. With a decent amount of room to hikers left to avoid imo. Bit of a lake at the bottom of the glacier, go to the foot moraine and then onto the glacier.

Parker Ridge

Published: Apr 11th, 2026

Daytrip to ski laps at Parker Ridge, overcast in the AM preserved the overnight recovery quite well leading to minimal clumping during the skin up. Morning laps on open slopes were good with fast, heavy snow mid-slope downward. Top of the ridge is largely blasted slab. We stuck to skier's right on the open slopes and didn't traverse too far out right. Increased sun exposure at noon meant we picked our last couple lines in the shaded, vegetated area to skier's right. Good skiing all around until noon, got a little sticky and clumpy into the afternoon. Plenty of evidence of activity in the general area, we observed lots of deposits of varying sizes, both slabs and wet loose.

Fryat

Published: Apr 8th, 2026

3 days up Fryat valley, one old avalanche path on the way up had taken out a tree roughly 40cm ish in diameter. Lots of loose dry/loose wet avalanches from steep rocky solar faces from up at 2500-3000M all small. Even SW slopes at 2500M had a sun crust after Thursday and had some LW releases below 2300M, constant LW activity on Thursday afternoon on our walk out of the valley. Saw one large cornice failure out of three blind mice peak. We skiied steep alpine couilars and found limited instability.

Snowdome E2.7

Published: Apr 11th, 2026

A weak overnight recovery and warm weather (8° on the dashboard at the icefields) provided firm, moist snow which allowed for easy touring conditions. Ski crampons will be useful when the surface re-freezes. Excellent views of the larger peaks from the humble mound that we climbed. No new avalanches observed, no signs of instability.

Boundary Glacier

Published: Apr 9th, 2026

Skied the Boundary Glacier and summited A2. Ski conditions were amazing - consistent ankle deep dry powder with no wind affect. We saw some small loose/wet avalanches out of steep, rocky, south-facing terrain and avoided sunny overhead.

The curtain drops?

Published: Apr 8th, 2026

We would not recommend trying curtain. The top pillar looks almost detached from the top section. The ice at the bottom is soft but strong. In the middle a lot of bumps and mushrooms. Also doesn’t feel very safe. The ice was VERY soft there (half the axe-blade sunk in there with one hit) Not many spots to put in a screw or an axe as well. Felt very scetchy.

Cold shower with a view.

Published: Mar 28th, 2026

Couple of laps in the boulder field. 15-25 ontop of crust to around 2000m where it was less obvious. Ski crampons would have helped. Close to treeline where crust less prevalent skiing was fantastic but still very good lower down. Some blowing snow on higher summits amd some small new slabs less than sz1 seen on the way back. Stuff 5kms either side of icefields centre looked really good. Even Parkers. Bring rubber boots for the crossing.

Maligne Pass attempt

Published: Mar 28th, 2026

We took the opportunity to check on the caribou’s home while they’re on vacay. All is well in Maligne Pass but temps went up quickly to 0°C today despite a forecast high of -5 and snowfall in the morning. There is ample deadfall on the route, but none uncrossable. Bridges all in good condition.

Moist

Published: Mar 27th, 2026

Quick lap NW aspect in the burn area High point ~2000m. Well settled storm snow sitting ontop of thick crust with moist facets to ground below. Extended column test resulted in full propagation in hard range down ~80cms in the facets. Also got RB4 in same facets. Lots of evidence of recent cycle but lots of good skiing around.

3080 🪨🛝

Published: Mar 28th, 2026

125cm of snow at 2000m Hard sudden planar CT results on a thin crust down 60cm The "atmospheric river" crust is 12cm thick and down 30cm, providing a good base to ski on. Good skiing conditions but with a surface crust on South facing micro-features to avoid.

Lovat

Published: Mar 22nd, 2026

We found better than expected skiing on both sides of the lovat trail. North was a bit deeper and lighter but neither had much more than 15cm of powder. Below treeline a good overnight freeze created a quick and fun ski out with 5cm of fresh on a supportive base all the way down to the trappers trail in the afternoon.

Bald Hills

Published: Mar 14th, 2026

Tracked up the Lovat Scout Trail to the top of Bald Hills Summit. 2 day old tracks on the NE and East facing slopes on the Lovat scout trail side. There was heavy wind loading close to the top. Large cornice present close to the peak NE and East facing aspects. Peak and ridge line were heavily wind drifted. Traversed across to bald hills viewpoint. Skied down convex slopes from bald hills view point. Stayed away from concave slopes in the bowl on the north side of bald hills view point as there was heavy wind loading. Also completed some informal snow profiles. Areas sheltered from the wind had a 20cm of fresh snow on top of a hard sun affected crust. Puncturing through the crust was a weak layer indicating persistent slab problems.

Mitchell Lake

Published: Mar 15th, 2026

Scenic tour to the Mitchell Lake up and down the drainage lookers right of the lake's main drainage. Lots of cracking and settling in the drainage. Saw one recent slide on a sunny south slope and evidence of another slide that had likely broken through the lake. 10km round trip on supportive crust with 10cm of fresh on top.

13/01 shangrila

Published: Mar 13th, 2026

The Wednesday thursday storm brought 5-10cm, SW aspects were quite stripped back and winds on Thursday were strong, wind slab developing on N 1/2 in the alpine with moderate wind transport on Thursday and Friday morning. We stuck to low angle terrain. There was some recent avalanche activity off trowel peak and in the surrounding back country check out the photos.

Sunwapta area.

Published: Mar 12th, 2026

Churchill - Thursday 12th. Great skiing for the top ~450m at churchill with 30-40cms "fresh" in sheltered treeline and around 20cms in the South path. Mid path and below, a breakable crust was beneath the most recent 10-15cms so skiing deteriorated lower down. Several whumpfs btl associated with crustand facets. Convective weather all day. No new avy obs. River crossing still good. Buck Lake - Friday 13th. Survived Friday the 13th at buck lake. Headed for the most northerly path. Found more supportive crust today than at chrurchill which made breaking trail and skiing a little nicer. Access is the best I've seen it and the skiing is also very good compared to usual. Skied a northerly aspect into the north path which skied very well. True solar or high elevation polars would ski best. Either supportive crust or no crust at all. If conditions allow, go make use of the uptrack.

Sendy at hilda

Published: Mar 8th, 2026

Fun day, found some fresh snow not wind affected in the open trees. Built a booter and got sendy, go check it out!

Caribou

Published: Mar 5th, 2026

Went to check out Diadem creek. A cool drainage with some great looking skiing in the avalanche paths up the valley. Deep ski pen when skinning through a thin crust, lots of previous roller balling on NW facing slopes, and some on SE. Looks like some of the steep NW aspects had gone through a previous slab avalanche cycle with debris stopping top to middle of the run out, hard to say how long ago but I would assume weeks+ old.

The burn.

Published: Mar 7th, 2026

Skied the burn in the old caribou closure. +6 at the car in the morning and +7 in the afternoon. Periods of light rain on the walk in and difficult trail breaking in open areas with ski pen of ~20cms and a moist top 10. Dug several hastys and a "hasty ECT" (1900m-2300m) which all showed the most recent storm snow above facets and or a deteriorating crust. In all tests storm snow showed very little adhesion to the facets or crust below with an ECTP1 and very little resistance in hastys. Skiing was decent ish from 2300m to 1800m and then very moist and sticky below.

Gone for a stroll

Published: Mar 1st, 2026

Double plus windy out there but still a nice day in the mountains. Managed to find some good turns in the glades and boulders with 5-15cm ski pen. Didn't venture further up the valley because of the wind (effect on slopes and general unpleasantness to hang out in). We had one whumph while skinning up the boulder field in the sorta place you'd expect a whumph. no avalanche obs. The sun packed some punch today but the wind up high kept the snow cool, somewhere around 1800m on the ski out the surface snow became moist and quite sticky.

Windy af

Published: Mar 1st, 2026

Everything above treeline and sub alpine was heavily wind affected. Interesting to see some places between trees were wind tunnel scoured down to the ground.

Great snow, just look out for the overhead

Published: Feb 28th, 2026

Pretty much the whole corridor got completely wind hammered with the recent storm; glaciers are blue ice, ridges are rocky, lees are fat. 4 finger windslab in lee features, sometimes extending quite far and coupled with significant wind loading of these features. No cracking or whumphing, however, evidence of many large avalanches were visible today (some natural, some explosive triggered) and another party on Hilda had a very close call(see thier MIN). Despite all this doom and gloom we had a fantastic day out. Low angle Alpine depressions held 20-30cm of excellent soft snow and things were great in the trees allowing high quality to to bottom turns.

Ouchy, my back hurts

Published: Feb 28th, 2026

Great skiing until the day took a turn!

Evening Nunatak

Published: Feb 27th, 2026

Significant drumming and whumpfing. Shooting cracks 20-40m during both uphill and downhill travel. Remote triggered a small cornice on the up track. Yesterday's Storm slab had very minimal energy, lots of sluffing on HN in steepish alpine terrain with not much propagation potential observed! Feb 7th MFcr is visible and has begun to facet out... might be a bottomless snow pack soon?! Take these observations with a thimble worth... the boy oh no forecasting range isn't huge but is big enough to see wide variabilities in coverage with isolated areas getting much more snow than others. Make smart, travel choices as conditions are changing.

Correct pin for admin report

Correct pin for the admin report that is just north..... app glitched and dropped the pin inside the seasonal Caribou closure but also #freetheWinstonChurchilltraverse

Buck

Published: Feb 26th, 2026

Skied the southernmost slide path above Buck Lake. Ski quality was great with mid boot pow, which remained low density but is starting to settle out with the warmer temps. We found isolated pockets of windslab along the ridge, as well as at the top of the slide path. Windslabs we encountered ranged from soft to hard, and were not reactive to skier travel. We did not experience any whumpfing, shooting cracks, or other signs of instability. We did not see any avalanche activity. Visibility was decent. Westerly winds were transporting snow off adjacent ridges. Snowing S-1, trace accumulation, though it looked like it was maybe snowing more across the valley. Temps at the car were -1 degrees, slightly cooler where we transitioned at 2250m. Trees back to the lake remain thin, with alders popping through. Great day, great recommendation from our friend James.

Fryatt Fun

Published: Feb 24th, 2026

Spent 4 days at the Fryatt Hut (Feb 21-24) over which we saw a general destabilizing trend. On Feb 22 (mainly cloudy) an attempt at the N Face of Xerses was thwarted by wind slab up to 20cm thick which was moderately reactive. We then climbed/skied the NW Coulior of Karpathos (Olympus) which had isolated wind slabs and significant spindrift/sluffing that increased with the growing PM winds. On Feb 23 we woke to ~10cm of new snow that continued through the day, perhaps 15cm total, with significant windloading in lee aspects. Groups checked out terrain near the Three Blind Mice zones while others enjoyed beautiful powder on southerly treeline aspects. Feb 24 we exited, and observed a significant avalanche (Size 2+) come down from near the summit of Fryatt NE3, possibly a cornice trigger. Feb 24 was cloudy with increasing winds noted in line with the forecast.

Bald Hills

Published: Feb 23rd, 2026

No concerning signs of instability observed.

Dumping on the hills

Published: Feb 22nd, 2026

Was super chill. Dug a pit, no issues. A small top layer was interesting but didn’t pop it and drop it. Top 20-25cm could be slid but was hard to. Super stable. Deeper then 25cm was rock solid. The layer was facets it seems. Got good snow. 15-20cm ski pen with the dump we are having. Was warming through the day but didn’t get warm enough to be trouble some.

North churchill slide

Published: Feb 22nd, 2026

toured up starting @9, was around -10, rising to -2 by the time we got down around 3. Original plan for the day was skiing the couloir in the center of the first pic, but bailed once at treeline. Dug a pit around 2000m, snowpack was 160cm deep, with everything but the top 15cm very well consolidated. Top 15cm was loose and powdery where we dug, it collapsed @ 17 taps but wouldn't come off in a cohesive slab. Looked to confirm it a few meters away and the wind affect was much more significant, obvious slab on top. Post-pit I crossed a wind affected slope and heard hollow sounding snowpack in various spots, and then loud whumpf in a 2m wide by 10m tall strip. Promptly gtfo of there. Once back within treeline no wind affect and skiing quality was great. Some of the snow was more facety as we skied down the gully. Some old avalanche debris in the top section.

Fryatt Valley

Published: Feb 18th, 2026

Mild stuffing. Cold slow snow over our week at fryatt. Good skiing just about everywhere. Couliors on Olympus and Kleodora skied well.

Nigel Basin

Published: Feb 21st, 2026

Good travel conditions on a supportive snowpack.

Jameskis

Published: Feb 21st, 2026

Overall great powder skiing in 20cm of new snow over a stiff layer. The layer made travel hard on steeper sections but did not affect the skiing. Pit dug at 1775m NW aspect - Snow pack 185cm - 20cm of new snow - Layer at 155cm fist - 55cm Basel layer/alders ruining the bottom - 26 taps failure at 155cm layer

Bald Hills

Published: Feb 18th, 2026

Wind affect in the alpine but powder to be had at treeline and below.

Hilda Peak

Published: Feb 15th, 2026

The midpack was well supported. Better snow at and below treeline than in the alpine. The snowpack was strong for the area.

Northern Church Hill Range Slabs

Published: Feb 15th, 2026

Found 30cm of new snow above 2100. Weak facets, fist soft, above and below a crust at 40cm. Partial propagation at 44cm with an ECT at 17. Had a 30m x 50m area collapse on a 30-33 degree slope a few steps away from our test pit, was enough to keep us away from anything steeper. Similar facet and crust profile on north and south slopes in the area. Additional whumphing

Parkers Ridge

Published: Feb 15th, 2026

Busy day at Parkers Was hovering around -15 and mostly sunny all day with some wind, mainly up towards the top of the ridge Snow in the alpine went from ~15cm deep to crust depending on where the wind transported, with a definite (but small) wind slab Once in the trees had great turns, probably 10 - 20cm with minimal wind Dug a quick pit and had total snowpack of 110cm, nice and cohesive down to ~40cm, where it went back to fist density, which is where we had it break at 27 hits with a resistant planar fracture.

Parker Ridge update

Published: Feb 14th, 2026

10-20cm of new snow over old hard tracks and wind lips. Thin coverage in places in the alpine. No activity or warning signs observed.

Shangrila

Published: Feb 14th, 2026

Roughly 10-15cm fell in the Shangrila region. Made for some fun and fast skiing. Skied the glades off sunset and snow quality in the trees was great. Ventured over to Aberharts and was surprised how the small amount of snow refreshed the slopes and made for some smooth, swift turns. Winds were light on top of Aberharts.

Big bend -hidden valley explore

Published: Feb 7th, 2026

Quick explore to scout the hidden valley access. Breakable crust for turns Found is a little pocket of old white bark pines! Of note on the old road going in, lot is trees have been topped and still are hanging in the canopy. Non standard risk for the next big wind storm

Sunset & Aberhart's

Published: Feb 8th, 2026

One lap on the nose was more than enough. Much better conditions on the lower half north glades on Sunset. 10 to 15cm of powder on a supportive base, ~4 of which fell on Saturday night.

Bald Hills

Published: Feb 9th, 2026

Strolled up the Bald Hills area, making it to our study plot near the hitching post. Snowpack at 2150 m was 105 cm, with the bottom 44 cm consisting of basal facets. Neither extended column tests nor compression tests produced any results. A thin temperature crust was present up to 2000 m on east to northeast aspects, with up to 3 cm of new snow on top. Above 2000 m, on sheltered treed slopes, 5–10 cm of soft snow overlies a supportive snowpack. Alpine looked quite wind affected. No signs of recent avalanche activity in the Maligne area.
