[MCR] Road access to Mt Dennis, Rockies, January 24, 2015

The road from the town of Field to the ice climbs on Mt Dennis was closed this morning due to concerns about avalanches reaching the road. 

30cm+ of new snow fell in this area overnight accompanied by strong West winds. The avalanche hazard in this area has risen very quickly and most avalanche terrain in this area should be treated with a great deal of caution.
