These are most of the spring recreational avalanche accident reports in our database which occured in the US. You need to be a member to read the reports but where an advisory is archived it is publicly available. These are not all spring incidents - far from it. We only include ones for which we have enough information, and in some seasons we were not able to add much due to a lack of resources (since we rely entirely on voluntary contributions by members). Also, this was generated a while ago and the most recent seasons may not be included at this time.
These are listed by activity and occured between April 15 and September 30, the year varies. The list was cleaned up by removing a few types of incidents - ski area avalanches, industrial accidents, one roof avalanche, and maybe a few others.
You can do your own search with custom date ranges if you are a member. Those results will not be cleaned of non-recreational incidents so additional ones may show up there.
The conditions and factors behind these differ significantly from winter incidents. We have a special course for spring climbing which is also relevant to spring ski touring and ski mountaineering. To learn more about these spring avalanches, and how to avoid them, you can take that course.
We also have a complete table for the northern hemisphere.
