Avalanche Control work late in the day on Thursday resulted in avalanches reaching the highway on HWY742 (Canmore Hill, near the East End of Rundle).  As a result, this road will be closed from Goat Creek Parking lot north to the junction with the Grassi lakes turn off (where it turns to gravel).   Estimated time of opening is at least 11am on Friday April 1st

 

Grassi Lakes trail is also closed while crews clear debris from the highway.

 

Thanks for your co-operation.
