Parks Canada issued an avalanche warning for Waterton Lakes, just north of the U.S., border and is advising people to stay clear of the park this weekend.
The increased avalanche risk is due to a change in the tree line and coverage after the 2017 Kenow wildfire, Parks said.
The alert was issued Friday, and, as of Saturday, Avalanche Canada said the risk is moderate.
