Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect for areas around Berthoud, Loveland, Fremont, and Hoosier Passes. Very dangerous avalanche conditions will develop by Sunday night and last through Monday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended during this time period.
You can trigger avalanches within the recent storm snow on any steep slope. You can also trigger a larger and more dangerous avalanche that breaks into weak layers buried near the ground on northerly and easterly-facing slopes. You can trigger an avalanche from the bottom of a slope or from a distance, so pay attention to steep terrain overhead. If you see signs of unstable snow like cracking or collapsing, move to slopes less than about 30 degrees that are not connected to larger, steeper slopes above.
