A winter storm is anticipated to hit Jasper and Banff National Parks, bringing with it as much as 15cm of snow by Friday, January 17. Intermittent closures between Parker Ridge and Saskatchewan Crossing may be required to allow Parks Canada staff to conduct avalanche control and ensure the safety of motorists on the Icefields Parkway. Road condition updates may be found using Alberta 511.
Parks Canada only closes roads when absolutely necessary, when weather, road or avalanche conditions present a risk to human life. To learn more about how the Icefields Parkway is managed, click here.
