Front Range

An Avalanche Watch is in effect. Very dangerous avalanche conditions will develop on Saturday and last through Sunday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended from Saturday afternoon through Sunday.

For Friday, you may not see signs of unstable snow, like cracking or collapsing, before triggering a large avalanche. Do not let tracks on a slope give you a false sense of security. The thinner portion of the slope closer to rocks and trees will be the most likely places you’ll trigger a slide. Reduce your chances of triggering a deadly avalanche by sticking to consistently deep snowpack or sticking to slopes less than about 30 degrees.
