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.

Daily Discussion

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.

Confidence: STRONG


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