Spring conditions.
The upper snowpack yesterday was isothermal and as such was unsupportive. This made for tricky travel conditions.

Last night temperatures did not go below freezing. As such, expect to find a poor crust recovery this morning and expect this crust to deteriorate quickly with increasing temperatures and sunshine.
‘Spring Conditions’ means: the avalanche danger is variable and can range from Low to High. Travelling early in the day is recommended. Be aware that conditions can change rapidly in short periods of time with daytime warming. Pay careful attention to the integrity of the surface crusts formed overnight and rising air temperatures during the day.
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.
