Avalanche forecast from Parks Canada for Glacier National Park:
“Solar input could initiate another large natural avalanche cycle today! Deep snow and tree-well immersion is also a very real danger today as the new snow will take time to settle and bond to old layers.”
Alpine: 4 – High-Very dangerous avalanche conditions. Travel in avalanche terrain not recommended. Natural avalanches likely; human-triggered avalanches very likely. Large avalanches in many areas; or very large avalanches in specific areas.
Treeline and below 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.
