Front Range

A Special Avalanche Advisory is in effect for the Front Range Mountains through Sunday. Days of accumulating snow is overloading fragile snow near the ground. You can easily trigger a large and dangerous avalanche that breaks wider and runs further than you might expect. You can trigger these avalanches from below a slope or from a distance.

The most dangerous slopes face northwest through east to southeast, at upper elevations. Do not ignore clear signs of dangerous conditions like recent avalanches, shooting cracks, or audible collapses. Look for low-angle, wind-sheltered slopes for safer travel options.
