WATERTON, AB – If you are planning to head to Waterton this weekend, officials are asking that you be careful.
Avalanche Canada is reporting a “high” risk of snow slides in the alpine and at the treeline, while the danger is said to be “considerable” below the treeline.
They say the area has received 50-70 cm of new snow in recent days, which was brought in by moderate-to-strong northeast winds.
This has created slabs that will be very easy to trigger.
