News – April 21, 2026

Sunday, April 12 was the final regular avalanche forecast for the 2025–26 season. We will issue spring conditions updates on Tuesday and Friday through May 1. These will highlight significant weather and avalanche concerns, but no danger ratings or specific avalanche problems included.

The Friends of IPAC is hosting an end of season celebration on May 2 from 3 to 5 pm at Vantage Brewing Co. in Coeur d’Alene. Come join us to celebrate another successful season of avalanche forecasting and education, and a chance to win an Osprey Soelden Pro 32 airbag pack generously donated by CDA Bike Company! Tickets are $5 each or $20 for 5 tickets. Must be present to win.
