Environment Canada has issued snowfall warnings for Jasper and Hinton on Friday (Jan. 31) with 15 to 30 centimetres expected.
Snow is forecasted to intensify in the morning and continue through the night before tapering off Saturday morning (Feb. 1).
Travelling is not recommended and drivers are asked to consider postponing non-essential travel until conditions improve.
"Visibility may be suddenly reduced at times in heavy snow," Environment Canada stated in a release. "Surfaces such as highways, roads, walkways and parking lots may become difficult to navigate due to accumulating snow."
Those clearing snow are advised to take frequent breaks and avoid strain. Parks Canada has also warned about avalanche conditions potentially worsening with the new snowfall.
The public is asked to monitor alerts and forecasts issued by Environment Canada. For up-to-date road conditions, monitor 511 Alberta.
