The Icefields Parkway will be closed from Athabasca Falls to Saskatchewan River Crossing from Wednesday night through to Friday evening, to allow for avalanche control work.

The woman is one of three people who died when a tour bus rolled at the Columbia Icefield Saturday afternoon.

The president of the company that runs the bus tours at the Columbia Icefield between Banff and Jasper said changes will be made, if necessary, after a rollover on the glacier killed three people and sent two dozen to hospital.

According to officers, the remains were found by a motorist near the area of Highway 400 and Highway 93.

The Coquihalla closure is from Exit 183 to the intersection of Highway 5A/97C, a distance of 102.8 kilometres.

Upwards of 70 centimetres of snow could fall in parts of Banff and Jasper national parks this weekend.

Anywhere from 10 to 20 centimetres of snow is expected in the mountains and around Edmonton, while the temperature across the entire province is set to nosedive this week.

Anyone heading to the mountains this weekend should prepare for possibly poor highway conditions after snowfall warnings were issued for both Banff and Jasper national parks.

“Some slides we probably can predict. If we have an area that we’ve identified as being problematic, that slope can be monitored.”

DriveBC is reporting that the closure is just south of Fairmont Hot Springs, and that traffic in both directions is being affected.
