South Rockies.
Avalanche forecasts are not prepared through the summer. Daily forecasts will start again at the end of November. General spring/summer advice is here at avalanche.ca/spring. The ACMG's Mountain Conditions Reports are here at mountainconditions.com.
Mountain Weather Forecasts are available here at avalanche.ca/weather
SPOTWX (https://spotwx.com) is a good resource for local scale weather forecasts.
Remember weather forecasts are usually more accurate in the short term (1-2 days) than in the longer term (3 days or more).
Four common spring scenarios are described here at https://avalanche.ca/spring, which may be relevant throughout the 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.
