Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect for the Southern Sawatch Range through Monarch Pass. Expect very dangerous avalanche conditions starting Monday evening and lasting through Wednesday morning. Avalanches will break wide across terrain features and reach valley floors thousands of feet below. Many will run naturally. Travel in or near avalanche terrain during this period is not recommended.
New snow and strong wind will create dangerous avalanche conditions throughout the day Monday. Safer travel options exist by seeking out wind-sheltered slopes below treeline.
