Front Range

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. You might trigger an avalanche on isolated steep slopes where you find a slab of firm, wind-drifted snow. Shallow rocky areas and the edge of these slabs are potential trigger areas to avoid on these slopes. As always, consider the consequences of triggering a slide while traveling above terrain traps, especially in steep, northerly terrain where you find more than eight inches of unconsolidated snow. Even a small loose avalanche could knock you over and take you for a ride in extreme terrain.
