Snowpack Discussion
The snowpack is steadily transitioning to a Spring snowpack.
Warm temperatures over the past few days have eliminated much of the potential for dry snow throughout the region. The snowpack has now become more of a settled springtime snowpack having been through many freeze thaw cycles.
In many lower elevation areas, what snowpack there was has now almost disappeared. The exception would be along the Spray Lakes road.
Timing is everything. As surface crusts break down during the day the avalanche hazard will begin to increase. Start early and finish early.
Avalanche Activity
Field teams are no longer forecasting in the field at this time and observations are limited to reports from the public and travel in the region. Noteable events will be posted to the MIN as well as mentioned on @kananaskissafety on instagram.
