Front Range

Generally safe avalanche conditions. If you were to trigger a small avalanche, it would be on a drifted slope where you find hard snow resting on softer, older snow. Assess the consequences of triggering an avalanche if your route travels through steep terrain. Even a small avalanche can have large consequences if you are swept off a cliff or buried in a deep gully. Avoid any of these suspect areas, and continue to practice good travel techniques.
