Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Warning is in effect for the Sangre de Cristo mountains. Dense snow, falling rapidly, and strong easterly winds are creating very dangerous avalanche conditions. Expect many avalanches to break within the storm snow. Some Avalanches will break on deeper weak layers and propagate widely across terrain features. Avalanches may run long distances or to valley floors. Many will run naturally. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended at this time.
