Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Watch is in effect for most mountain ranges in Colorado. Very dangerous avalanche conditions will develop overnight Saturday and last through Monday. Avalanches will grow larger and run farther than they have all season. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended on Sunday or Monday.

Strong winds continue to load easterly-facing aspects on Saturday. If you trigger an avalanche in the wind-drifted snow, it will be large and dangerous. Avoid steep north through east to south-facing slopes where the freshly drifted snow rests on a very weak snowpack. Avalanches could grow large enough to bury you at every elevation. Stick to wind-sheltered areas with a slope angle less than about 30 degrees to stay safe.
