"WeatherBest snow targets are the Alberta Rockies, where open terrain at Lake Louise and Sunshine should net 7″-11″ by Saturday night, while interior British Columbia picks up 4″-6″ and the U.S. Northern Rockies see lighter 1″-3″ with breezy ridgelines. Snow starts wetter on Thursday, improves Friday as snow levels fall, and winds gust 25-45 mph over exposed high terrain; another light shot looks possible late Sunday into Monday with more systems likely next week."
"Snow levels fall to about 4,000-4,500 feet on the U.S. side by Friday, and down toward 2,400-3,400 feet near Banff/Lake Louise Friday night, so snow quality steadily improves into the weekend. For the open terrain, Lake Louise is favored around 7″-11″ and Sunshine around 7″-10″ through Saturday night; SLRs trend into the 12-16:1 range Friday night, so expect soft, chalky turns in wind-sheltered aspects."
Snow will focus on the Alberta Rockies, with Lake Louise and Sunshine favored for about 7–11″ through Saturday night. Interior British Columbia should pick up 4–6″, primarily Thursday and Friday nights. The U.S. Northern Rockies will see lighter totals near 1–3″ with wind-affected ridgelines. Snow begins wetter on Thursday with high snow levels, then improves Friday as colder air lowers snow levels and snow-to-liquid ratios increase. Early ratios are generally 6–10:1, trending to 12–16:1 near Lake Louise for softer, chalky snow in sheltered aspects. South–southwest winds will gust 25–45 mph. A light additional shot may arrive late Sunday into Monday with more systems probable next week.
