[MCR] Avalanche Control East End of Rundle

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.
