Front Range

The avalanche danger is trending down; however, you can still release a dangerous slide from trigger points close to rocks and small trees. Approach steep rocky slopes cautiously, as these areas are the common factor between reported human-triggered avalanches over the last week. Below treeline, the mid-pack slab is thinner than the upper elevations, and therefore there are more areas where you could trigger an avalanche. Reduce the chances of releasing a slide by choosing planar slopes with a consistently deep snowpack and slopes close to and under 30 degrees.
