Front Range

Strong winds on Sunday formed slabs of drifted snow on easterly slopes. You can trigger a small avalanche in this drifted snow. Avoid very steep terrain where you find harder, cohesive slabs of snow. These small avalanches can break above you and knock you off of your feet.

Also, watch for new snow getting wet as it sees the sun for the first time. Warming snow will easily shed on firm crusts beneath. Although these avalanches won't be large enough to bury you, similar to avalanches in drifted snow, you can get knocked off your feet and pushed into places you don't want to go.
