I'm not sure what you mean by snowed in. You might get snow & if you do just stay put for a day or two. It will quickly melt or be removed from the roads. The roads Harvard mentioned including the Icefield Parkway are year round roads. A severe snow storm would be rare in Sept and probably confined to one or two higher passes.
Sept can often be a beautiful time to be in the parks. Less bugs, less tourists, more scenic with snow on the peaks
Fall colours are more confined to the shrubery than trees but can often be very pretty when seen on an open slope. An exception is the Larch trees found at higher elevations and best seen above Lake Louise or in the Kananaskis.
Some nights will have frost but nothing to cause damage to a 3 seasson unit. Disconnect your water hose on the colder nights.
Keep in mind that the elevations in this area are lower than the Colorado area and this offsets some of the differences caused by being further North.
Sometimes Sept can be cool & wet but this can happen anytime. I say give it a try.
