stations in Banff, Yoho and Kootenay National Parks is now available on
line with our partner, the Canadian Avalanche Association. Please be aware
that the data you will see is raw data that has not been manipulated once
downloaded from the dataloggers. This means that if it appears to be
gibberish, it probably is. Keep in mind that this data comes from
electronic and mechanical equipment run by a 12 volt battery and a solar
panel in a harsh environment.. Data is transferred by radio and phone
modems. They do not always work and erroneous information is not uncommon.
Don't plan your outdoor wardrobe with this information. There are
currently still a few details to work out in the presentation on the
website. The most glaring one at this time for each reading is the
displayed date and time. Bookmark the page below and scroll to the bottom.
