Kananaskis public safety posted their final avalanche bulletin for the spring season, with an interesting tidbit of advice worth noting: deep persistent weak layers likely to be an issue until the snow is all melted. That means well into the summer in some areas and an issue for hikers and scramblers crossing slide paths or using them to ascend, and not just in Kananaskis. Never seen that kind of warning before. Be wary.
