Weather Forecast
Mountain Weather Forecasts are available at avalanche.ca/weather https://avalanche.ca/weatherSPOTWX (https://spotwx.com) is a resource for weather forecasts at a local scale.Remember that a short range forecast (2 days) will probably be more reliable than a long range forecast (8-10 days). Higher resolutions of a short term model are also more likely to capture the topography and weather processes associated with the mountains.

Four common spring scenarios are described in our Forecaster Blog (https://avalanche.ca/blogs/spring-strategy-2017) which may be relevant throughout the spring and summer. It's up to you to decide which of the scenarios applies to your situation. Each scenario has specific weather, snowpack, and avalanche characteristics. Each requires a different risk management approach.
