Highlights

Daily avalanche bulletins have concluded for the season, but the possibility of avalanches is still present.

Spring Conditions continue in the Alpine. Most alpine trails are still snowbound and travel through avalanche terrain. Be prepared.

Snowpack Summary

After a big snowfall year and cooler spring temps there is still quite a bit of snow in the alpine.

The snowpack has now transitioned to a summer snowpack. Its undergone numerous freeze/thaw cycles and has been rained on a bunch.

After cold clear mornings expect the surface to be firm and icy then softening with daytime heating and sun.

Avalanches are still possible especially after heavy rainfall, sudden intense heating or with summer snow squalls.
