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.
