Front Range

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the northern Front Range, Never Summer Range, Rabbit Ears Range, and Medicine Bow Mountains. Expect very dangerous avalanche conditions to last through Monday evening. You can very easily trigger avalanches large enough to bury you and many will release spontaneously.  Travel in backcountry avalanche terrain is not recommended.

You can trigger avalanches within the recent storm snow on any steep slope. You can also trigger a larger and more dangerous avalanche that breaks into weak layers buried near the ground on northerly and easterly-facing slopes. You can trigger an avalanche from the bottom of a slope or from a distance, so pay attention to steep terrain overhead. If you see signs of unstable snow like cracking or collapsing, move to slopes less than about 30 degrees that are not connected to larger, steeper slopes above.
