Sangre de Cristo

Dangerous avalanche conditions exist. The most dangerous slopes are above treeline where the ongoing storm is building slabs two to three feet deep. Although high elevations are where you will find the most dangerous conditions, be suspicious of any slope steeper than about 35 degrees with more than 10 to 12 inches of new snow. 

If you experience cracking in the new snow or feel a collapse, this is a sign of unstable snow and you should seek out lower-angled terrain that is not connected to steep terrain above.
