Avalanche Canada has issued a Special Public Avalanche Warning. It’s a bit of an unusual one in that the area of greatest risk is open areas below treeline, a place people usually consider safer than higher elevations. It could be a tricky weekend. Please use caution until the current conditions have had time to settle out. You can view the text of the SPAW here:
