Due to concerns about natural avalanches hitting the Field back road off Mt Dennis with the forecasted precipitation and increased winds on Friday, Parks Canada has closed this road to vehicle traffic until further notice.
Avalanche control is not currently planned for Friday, because of the forecasted poor weather, so the ice climbs around Mt Dennis are not currently closed.
We expect to do avalanche control on Mt Dennis on Saturday and will send out updates on avalanche closures at that point.
The avalanche control signs in the area will also be flipped to say "Avalanche Control in Progress - No access" once we confirm when avalanche control will occur. See the attached photo for an example of these signs.
