Avalanche forecast:
Glacier National Park: “Storm slabs are reactive to mountain travelers. The persistent weak layer, if triggered has the potential to propagate into large avalanches.”
Alpine and treeline: 3-Considerable
Below treeline: 2-Moderate
For more information see Parks Canada.
North and South Columbia: “The recent storm snow may sit on a weak surface hoar layer and a sun crust on steep solar aspects which is reactive to human triggers. A shift in wind direction to northeast will form fresh wind slabs at all elevations on previously windward slopes throughout the day.”
Alpine and treeline: 3-Considerable
Below treeline: 2-Moderate
