Front Range

Most slopes will be safe to travel on. There is a chance you could trigger an avalanche in steep terrain where you find a slab of firm snow over weak layers. Shallow rocky areas and trigger points on the edge of slabs are areas to avoid. Be careful in steep, northerly terrain where you find more than eight inches of unconsolidated snow. A small loose avalanche could knock you over and take you for a ride in extreme terrain. You should continue to practice good avalanche travel habits and carry rescue equipment.
