A winter storm has blown into the mountain regions of Alberta near Banff and Canmore, bringing heavy, wet snow with it and a travel advisory from police. 

Canmore RCMP are advising that travel that weather overnight has made the road conditions on Hwy. 1 West from Exit 114 (Highway 1X) through to the Banff Park Gates very poor.

A winter storm has blown in with heavy, wet snow. There is little to no visibility at times with some accumulation. On and off ramps are also icy.

RCMP say travel is not recommended at this time.
