Steamboat & Flat Tops

Snow continues, and so do dangerous avalanche conditions in the Park Range. You can easily trigger an avalanche large enough to injure or kill you on many steep slopes. Before triggering an avalanche, you may not see obvious signs of instability, like cracking or collapsing in the snow. You can trigger an avalanche from far away or in flat areas below steep slopes.

Avalanches will be larger but harder to trigger in the deeper areas near Buffalo Pass. It will be easier to trigger avalanches in most surrounding areas, especially around Hahns Peak and North Routt County.
