We've concluded our regularly updated forecasts, but avalanche hazards can continue well into spring. The Spring Conditions page provides mountain travel guidance over the coming weeks.

The snow surface likely consists of a mix of hard melt-freeze crust and dry snow depending on aspect and elevation. Sun-exposed slopes may undergo daily melting and freezing whereas northerly alpine slopes could remain dry with potential slabs.

The Feb 3rd crust is the dominant mid-pack layer and make reawaken under periods of intense, prolonged warming or rain.
