Avalanche Summary

A healthy dose of snow followed by a beautiful weekend makes Loose Wet avalanches a concern. You may be able to trigger small avalanches on steep slopes where you find around 8 inches or more of wet storm snow on an old snow surface. Even small avalanches can be dangerous on steep, exposed slopes.

Assess the slopes you plan to ride or hike. There is a lot more snow near Pikes Peak and in the Sangre de Cristo Range than last weekend. Plan accordingly.
