Avalanche Forecast - Eastside Region

<p>We have reached the end of the 2025/2026 operating season, but our dynamic spring weather continues. Avalanche activity is likely to continue throughout the remainder of the spring season.&nbsp; Winter-like avalanche conditions may develop during stormy periods, increasing the avalanche hazard. Wind slab and storm instabilities will be top of mind during and immediately following mountain snow events. As the storm clears and warm spring weather returns, you can expect a spike in Wet Loose avalanche activity. For more information on specific avalanche problems, please follow this <a href="https://www.esavalanche.org/avalanche-problems/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LINK</a>.</p> <p>In addition, you can monitor the <a href="https://www.esavalanche.org/observations/#/view/observations" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Observations page</a> for updated information on current snowpack and travel conditions. To help with the public information exchange regarding avalanche conditions, please continue to submit your field observations to the ESAC website by following this&nbsp;<a href="https://www.esavalanche.org/submit-observation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LINK</a>.</p> <p><em>Thank you to everyone who has supported the Eastern Sierra Avalanche Center this season.&nbsp; Whether you made a financial contribution or posted your field observations through our website, we could not do what we do without your support.</em></p>
