This avalanche comes just one day after the Trans Canada Highway between B.C. and Alberta was closed in Yoho National Park due to a slide.
Heavy machines were brought in to clean up the highway and ensure there is no longer any risk to the public.
The area has since been declared safe and traffic is being allowed through.
