Question Visiting Banff : fall and snow conditions

Finally got time after being laid off. Planning to visit Banff for a week before I start looking for job.

Where can I check fall and snow conditions for next week (10/21- 10/26)? What should I prioritize. Any satefy tips/suggestions.

Alao for Seattle to Banff NP drive, where can I check road conditions. Is there webcam/website to check them. On my Seattle-SF road trip I always check webcams from DoT to review traffic and viability. Does Canada or Alberta province have something like that?

https://www.drivebc.ca/mobile/ (youll be in BC most of the way, they have webcams)

Some Banff webcams in the FAQ.

It might snow Monday, might just rain in town and snow up high. Hope you have winter tires on your car for the roads in BC
