Points saillants

Daytime heating and timing are the key to success in the spring.  Good trip planning means setting realistic objectives and alpine starts to get ahead of the heat before the snowpack destabilizes.

Avalanche Summary

Yesterday in the Rockies saw a mix of wet slabs, loose wet and cornice failures up to size 2.5 with daytime heating and direct solar radiation.

Snowpack Summary

Last night the temperatures dropped and some light precipitation fell as dry snow.  The snowpack is in typical spring shape with conditions ranging from frozen crusts with light dusting over top to moist and wet surfaces by early to mid morning.  The name of the game is to get up early, pay attention to temperatures and complete your objectives well before things fall apart.
