‘Now is not the time to be in the backcountry,’ Avalanche experts say

Avalanche experts are warning backcountry enthusiasts of very dangerous snow conditions in the mountains of southwestern Alberta and southeastern British Columbia.



Avalanche Canada warns of "very dangerous" avalanche conditions in southern Alberta and B.C. due to warm temperatures and recent snowfall, advising against backcountry travel. Experts urge people to stay inbounds at ski resorts and avoid avalanche terrain, emphasizing the importance of checking conditions and having proper training and equipment if venturing into the backcountry. The warning follows a fatal avalanche and brings the total fatalities to seven this year.
