Subject: | [MCR] Avalanche Control East End of Rundle |
---|---|
Date: | Sat, 15 Jan 2011 14:13:50 -0700 |
Avalanche control
will be occurring on Sunday (Jan 16th) on the east end of Mt Rundle between the
hours of 11:00-12:00. No activities will be permitted in this area at this
time and the highway will be temporarily closed. Grassi Lakes trail will
also be closed while the control work will be taking place.
Currently Kananaskis
Country has received up to 50cm of snow at treeline elevations with warming
temperatures and moderate SW winds. As a result of these weather events a
natural avalanche cycle is ongoing at this time. Avalanche danger levels
are likely to remain elevated for the next while. Watch the avalanche
bulletin for updates at www.albertaparks.ca/avalanche.
