Warmer temperatures throughout the forecast ranges has melted a lot of snow but spring conditions still exist.
Front range rock routes are dry from Kananaskisk to Jasper but the bigger alpine rock routes, including the Bugaboos and Rogers Pass still need some time.
Waist deep foot penetration can be expected on the higher glaciers and alpine routes without a good freeze, but otherwise good conditions exist.
Recent cornice and rockfall have been observed but with good overnight freezes and good timing, good conditions exist.
Have a great weekend.
