Avalanche forecast from Avalanche Canada for Glacier National Park for April 4 at 6:45 a.m.:
“Forecasters have transitioned to springtime danger ratings. A small refresh of snow is expected Thursday AM in the alpine. As it clears in the afternoon watch for local solar input.”
The avalanche danger is variable and can range from Low to High. Travelling early in the day is recommended, as conditions can change rapidly in short periods of time due to daytime warming. Pay careful attention to the integrity of surface crusts formed overnight and rising air temperatures during the day. Dry slab avalanche danger may also exist during spring snow storms
Please check Avalanche Canada for more details on conditions and snowpack.
