Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Watch is in effect for the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. Heavy snowfall and winds drive the avalanche danger to HIGH (4 of 5) for Wednesday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended on Wednesday.

Tuesday, you can trigger an avalanche where you find firm snow resting above weak sugary snow. Rounded pillows of snow indicate where winds may have drifted these firm pillows and should be avoided. You are most likely to find unstable snow in gullies and below ridgelines. You may experience cracking or collapsing in the snow, which is an indicator to head to areas sheltered from the wind. You can find safer travel on slopes less than about 35 degrees steep.
