Avalanche control happening on Icefields Parkway

Dec 29, 2022 | 3:14 PM

Avalanche control work is underway on the Icefields Parkway.

According to Jasper National Park:

“Significant snowfall over the holidays increased the avalanche risk between Parker Ridge and Saskatchewan Crossing on 93 N. Due to fog and freezing rain east of Golden on Wednesday, the helicopter was not able to travel to the Columbia Icefields area for avalanche control to make the road safe. Road-accessible control work is underway. The helicopter has been re-scheduled for Thursday to complete avalanche control work to allow safe travel following debris clearing.”
