Avalanche control is planned for tomorrow Jan.15 along the Sunshine
Ski Village road tomorrow. No climbing or any other activities along
the road tomorrow including Bourgeau Left or Right.
A natural avalanche cycle is currently under way in
Banff/Yoho/Kootenay National Parks, and we have an average 40cm of new
storm snow, moderate to strong West winds, and warming temperatures.
60-80cm of new snow has been reported North of Bow Summit on Hwy 93.
The storm is still going strong and will have elevated hazard for the
forseeable future.
There have been many accidents on the TCH and all mountain roads are
in horrendous driving condition. Hwy.93 North is currently closed
from Lake Louise until 3PM tomorrow (low confidence)
