Weather Forecast

Mountain Weather Forecasts are available at avalanche.ca/weather https://avalanche.ca/weather SPOTWX (https://sptowx.com) is a resource for weather forecasts at a local scale. Remember 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 is also more likely to capture the topography and weather process associated with the mountains.

Avalanche Summary

Snowpack Summary

Four common spring scenarios are described at 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 approach in terms of risk management
