Avalanche Summary
An Avalanche Watch is in effect for the Eastern Front Range. New snow and strong winds will create very dangerous avalanche conditions starting Sunday night and lasting through Tuesday night. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended during this time.
You will likely trigger an avalanche where you find more than 8 inches of new or wind-drifted snow. You will find firm pillows of rounded snow below ridgelines, terrain breaks, and cross-loaded gullies. Cracking or collapsing in the new snow are signs you have found surface instability, and you should avoid steep slopes. You can find safer riding on lower-angled slopes and those not affected by the wind holding soft snow.
