Front Range

Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. 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 below. Assess the consequences of your route plan if you choose to travel through steep, exposed terrain. You can experience large consequences from small avalanches in exposed terrain like above tall cliffs or deep gullies. Travel around any suspect areas you notice, and remember always carry essential rescue equipment.
