Spring Conditions exist in the alpine, with not much snow at treeline and below.

Daily forecasts are done until the fall.

Many high-elevation trails are still snow-covered, with some in avalanche terrain. Look for trailhead avalanche signage and check conditions at info centers or trail reports.

Check the Avalanche Canada map page for any recent local MINs (mountain information network) or for MCRs click here: mountain condition reports.

Below treeline is snow-free, and patchy at treeline. The alpine still has plenty of snow, but is melting rapidly. Deep or shallow avalanches can still be expected, depending on temperature fluctuations and other weather inputs, such as snow or rain.
