Parks Canada avalanche forecast for Glacier National Park
“Weaknesses in the snowpack from late November may be difficult to trigger, but could produce very large avalanches. Conservative use of terrain is the best way to manage this problem.”
Alpine and treeline: 3 - Considerable. Dangerous avalanche conditions. Careful snowpack evaluation, cautious route-finding and conservative decision-making essential. Natural avalanches possible; human-triggered avalanches likely. Small avalanches in many areas; or large avalanches in specific areas; or very large avalanches in isolated areas.
Below treeline: 2 - Moderate. Heightened avalanche conditions on specific terrain features. Evaluate snow and terrain carefully; identify features of concern. Natural avalanches unlikely; human-triggered avalanches possible. Small avalanches in specific areas; or large avalanches in isolated areas.
