Points saillants

The spring freeze/thaw cycle is happening. Expect the surface of the snowpack to soften in the afternoons with daily heating and solar input.

Be prepared for rugged travel (especially at lower elevations), with creeks opening up and variable surface conditions.

Avalanche Summary

There has been very little avalanche activity in the region while a stout surface crust has remained intact.

Snowpack Summary

The snowpack is starting to undergo a more typical freeze thaw spring cycle. Expect to find corn in the afternoons on solar slopes.

The April 13th crust is down 15-30cm. The robust March 21 crust is down 40-80cms. These crusts could provide sliding layers when/if things warm up dramatically.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • A hard crust on the snow surface will help strengthen the snowpack, but may cause tough travel conditions.
  • Pay attention to cornices and give them a wide berth when traveling on or below ridges.
  • Avoid steep, sun-exposed slopes when the air temperature is warm or when solar radiation is strong.
