Mar 24: With temperatures warming up expect spring hiking conditions. Trails will be covered with patches of snow, ice, mud and water. Deeper snow will exist at higher elevations.
If choosing to hike, wear appropriate footwear, bring extra layers, a hat, and gloves, and you may want to carry poles and microspikes or snowshoes. Please note that many official summer hiking trails are not maintained in the winter.
If heading into the backcountry, be aware of avalanche conditions. Current conditions can be found at Avalanche Canada.
