Avalanche Summary

Snowpack Summary

We are no longer receiving consistent avalanche and snowpack observations from the region, making it impossible to issue avalanche forecasts with accurate danger ratings. To assist with your backcountry travel planning we've produced blog posts describing four common spring scenarios. It's up to you to decide which of the scenarios applies to your situation. Each scenario has specific weather, snowpack, and avalanche characteristics. And each requires a different approach in terms of risk management. Click the link in the bulletin headline for more information on these different spring scenarios.
