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.

Above around 2000 m, weak faceted grains associated with hard melt-freeze crusts may be found in the middle and bottom of the snowpack. There is potential for these layers to reawaken under periods of intense or prolonged warming or rain.
