Front Range

Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. Even though there are few areas with unstable snow, think about the consequences of your route if you plan on traveling through steep or exposed terrain. Exposed slopes above cliffs and gullies increase the consequences of even the smallest avalanches. You are unlikely to trigger an avalanche that can harm you, but it's not impossible on steep slopes. You could find suspect areas with dense, drifted snow resting on weak snow at upper elevations or exceptionally weak, cohesionless snow at lower elevations. Travel around any suspect areas you notice and remember to always carry essential rescue equipment.
