Summary
Weather Forecast
Avalanche hazard for the day is a direct result of the forecasted weather. Good situational awareness is very important for a safe and fun spring.
Snowpack Summary
Spring conditions on all aspects and elevations with a melt freeze crust that is dependent on overnight freezing conditions. The snowpack is moist to wet snow to ground below this crust.
Avalanche Summary
Avalanche activity will increase after warm nights and/or with thermal inputs such as rain, solar radiation and daytime warming. The avalanche danger will be lowest after cold nights and strong crust formation and will increase into the afternoon and evening before sunset. Likely trigger spots are rocks, cliffy terrain and shallow snowpack areas.
