Avalanche Summary

Avalanche conditions are generally safe. You might trigger an avalanche in drifted snow at the highest elevations on Friday, but if you do it will be small. Avalanches that are only a few inches deep can be dangerous in extreme, cliffy terrain. Also, use caution around terrain traps where small avalanches in wet snow at low elevations could carry you into a creek or over a cliff.

Look for rising danger on Saturday as an upsloping storm brings heavy snow to the Front Range Mountains.
