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.

The avalanche area includes west of Cameron Creek along south Evergreen Avenue, plus adjacent slopes of Bertha Peak in Waterton townsite, according to Parks Canada.
