Alberta Avalanche Danger
Backcountry avalanche danger in the Alberta Rockies.
Avalanche Canada is currently reporting 5 regions in summer conditions across the Alberta Rockies. This data may be delayed. Last updated August 23, 2026 at 12:01 a.m. — about 16 hours ago. Check the source directly before relying on it.
Avalanche danger ratings from Avalanche Canada for the forecast regions covering the Alberta Rockies — Kananaskis, Banff and Lake Louise, Jasper and the Icefields, and Waterton — on the 1–5 North American scale, shown in Avalanche Canada's own wording. The regions follow the mountains rather than the provincial boundary, so several of them run west across the divide and Rogers Pass (Glacier) is included, because Albertans ski there. Ratings run from late fall through spring; through the summer every region reads 'Summer Conditions', which is what Avalanche Canada publishes in the off-season. Tap a region for the official forecast — never travel in avalanche terrain on the strength of a map: check avalanche.ca and get proper training.
