Access

Significant precipitation is forecasted along the Icefields Parkway (Highway 93) beginning on Thursday afternoon. Some slopes still hold enough snow that, when combined with upto 30 millimetres of new precipitation forecast, will create an amplified risk of avalanches.
Beginning at 2:00 pm on Thursday, April 18th, the Icefields Parkway from Parkers Ridge, south of the Columbia Icefields to Saskatchewan River Crossing will be closed. Avalanche control work followed by road cleanup has already been scheduled to take place on Friday and Saturday.
All day use areas and viewpoints along the Icefields Parkway between Lake Louise and Saskatchewan Crossing and between Jasper and Parkers Ridge remain open as scheduled.
The Icefields Parkway is expected to reopen in the afternoon on Saturday, April 20th.

FERMETURE DE LA PROMENADE DES GLACIERS

Des averses importantes sont prévues le long de la promenade des Glaciers (route 93) à compter de jeudi après-midi. Comme certaines pentes sont toujours passablement enneigées, les 30 mm additionnels de précipitations prévus vont contribuer à accroître le risque d’avalanches.
À compter de 14 h le jeudi 18 avril, la promenade des Glaciers sera fermée à la circulation du chaînon Parker, situé au sud du champ de glace Columbia, jusqu’à Saskatchewan River Crossing. Des travaux de déclenchement préventif des avalanches suivi du déneigement des routes sont déjà prévus pour vendredi et samedi.
Les aires de fréquentation diurne ainsi que les belvédères qui sont déjà accessibles le long de la promenade des Glaciers entre Lake Louise et Saskatchewan River Crossing ainsi qu’entre la ville de Jasper et le chaînon Parker demeureront ouverts au public.
La réouverture de la promenade des Glaciers est prévue pour le samedi 20 avril en après-midi.
