Generally, danger increases with daytime warming, & decreases with cold, clear nights.

As the snow thins, crevasse bridges weaken. Use extra care in thin wind-affected areas, eg the Athabasca Glacier.

Avalanches can occur all year on high peaks. Avalanche activity increases with fresh snow, rising temps, especially during warm and/or sunny afternoons. Use extra caution if the surface didn't freeze overnight.
