Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Watch is in effect for the Front Range. New snow and strong winds will create very dangerous avalanche conditions starting Friday night and lasting through Sunday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended during this time.

On Friday, you can trigger a small avalanche where you find drifts of firm snow. These are found close to ridgelines, gullies, and maybe well down into the trees. Shady high-elevation slopes where these drifts rest on old snow will be more hazardous. Look for and avoid smooth, bulbous lenses of firm snow. Cracking and collapsing are good signs to avoid steep slopes or to divert to a different aspect. You can travel more safely on unconsolidated snow.
