Regular bulletins are finished for the season; however, a thick snowpack means avalanche hazard will remain throughout Spring in many areas. For further information, please see the "More Spring Conditions details" link, and the Forecast Details tab.

Snowpack Summary

The Spring snowpack is well above average.  Avalanche risk will remain on many trails until Summer.  Avalanche Canada has defined four common spring scenarios, here: https://avalanche.ca/blogs/spring-strategy-2017. It's up to you to decide which of the scenarios applies to your situation. Each requires a different risk management approach.
