Look for and avoid isolated areas of firm, drifted snow on shady, high-elevation slopes. If you find snow that is supportive and hollow or that cracks beneath your weight, you could trigger a small avalanche. Most other slopes are safe from avalanches due to very thin snow coverage.
Join the Friends of CAIC on Saturday, Nov. 22 at the Breckenridge Riverwalk Center for the 18th annual CAIC Benefit Bash - the season's biggest fundraiser for avalanche safety. Tickets are available here <https://breckcreate.org/events/caic-benefit-bash>
