Avalanche Safety.
As snowshoeing takes place in the backcountry and not in a patrolled resort setting, avalanches are possible. It is important to understand the risks, weather and snow pack before you head out. Visit Avalanche Canada for more information and contact the Visitor Information Centre to learn about trails with no avalanche risk.
