The warning, which was issued earlier this week, now includes Banff, Yoho, Kootenay and Jasper national parks.
It extends from the southern boundaries of the Purcell Wilderness Conservancy and Kokanee and Valhalla provincial parks to Williston Lake north of Pine Pass and Mackenzie, B.C.The organization says the recent storm that hit Western Canada added significant snow on top of the weak snowpack, which makes dangerous avalanches likely.
