Conditions Summary
The Spring thaw is in full swing. Rivers and creeks are opening up and access to the Alpine involves some bushwalking from most trailheads. There is still great riding to be had up in the Alpine, but good visibility is needed in order to avoid obstacles.

Daily Discussion
Temperatures did not fall below 0 degrees last night. With rain and fog, any overnight crust will soften quickly.
Avalanche danger in the spring is variable and can range from Low to High. When things are locked in and frozen first thing, avalanche danger is Low. As the day warms up, and the surface crust deteriorates, avalanche danger can increase. Generally, reduce your exposure to avalanche terrain as temperatures increase, on sun exposed slopes or when there is rain.

We need your eyes too. If you’ve been touring in the Kosciuszko National Park we’d love to know what you have seen. Every little bit helps.
