Jasper residents hoping for Christmas miracle as snow shutters Icefields Parkway

December 22, 2025

It’s been nine days and counting since the rugged, scenic 232-kilometre highway connecting Banff and Jasper was closed after being walloped by a winter storm that buried it in snow and swelled the avalanche risk along the route.
