Front Range

You can trigger avalanches in the most recent snow that will slide on a firm surface below on slopes steeper than 40 degrees. Most avalanches you trigger will be small, but even a small avalanche can have significant consequences in steep, exposed terrain. Know what terrain surrounds you and pay attention to how much new snow is on the slope you intend to ride.

Ample sun and warm temperatures will raise your chances of triggering a wet avalanche later in the day. Start and end your day early to find the safest and most enjoyable travel conditions.
