A Special Avalanche Advisory is in effect from 4:30 PM Wednesday until 4:30 PM Sunday. Avalanche conditions are more dangerous than we’ve experienced this season. You can easily trigger dangerous avalanches large enough to injure or kill you. Avoid traveling on and under slopes with a slope angle steeper than about 30 degrees. You can trigger avalanches from a distance or from below.
The most avalanche activity reported thus far has been on northerly and easterly facing slopes. These aspects are the most dangerous. Current avalanche conditions in the San Juan Mountains require conservative decision-making and a wide margin of safety.
