The Icefield Parkway has reopened Monday (Feb. 24) following avalanche control work after recent snowfall elevated the avalanche danger; however, the avalanche danger is still rated as considerable along Highway 93 North in Banff National Park.

Kananaskis Country remains at a high avalanche danger.

"Do not be bold as the volume of new snow means things have changed. Be cautious in avalanche terrain while the snowpack is adjusting to the new snow load," states a report by Parks Canada.
