Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for Rabbit Ears Pass and Gore Range. Expect very dangerous avalanche conditions from Saturday morning through Sunday night. You can very easily trigger avalanches large enough to bury you and many will release spontaneously. Some may break on deeply buried weak layers. Travel in backcountry avalanche terrain is not recommended.
