Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Front Range, Gore, Tenmile, and northeast Sawach Ranges. Another round of intense snowfall and strong winds will create very dangerous avalanche conditions. Backcountry travelers can trigger deep, wide, and dangerous avalanches. You can trigger one from a distance and some avalanches will release naturally in wind-drifted terrain. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended.
