Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Elk Mountains and the West Elk Wilderness. Very dangerous avalanche conditions exist. You can easily trigger avalanches large enough to bury you, and you can expect many of these avalanches to release naturally. The very dangerous avalanche conditions will continue through the end of the day Wednesday. Travel in or below avalanche terrain is not recommended.
