Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Sangre de Cristo range. Very dangerous avalanches conditions exist from heavy snowfall and strong winds, and last through Thursday. You can very easily trigger avalanches large enough to bury or kill you, and some will release spontaneously. Very large, destructive avalanches can travel much farther than you anticipate, impacting valley bottoms and lower elevations. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended.
