Front Range

On most slopes, there isn't enough snow for avalanches. An incoming storm Sunday night may drop more than a foot of new snow in favored locations. However, with light easterly winds, this new snow will mostly fall on bare ground and is unlikely to form a slab on top of the areas holding a thin snowpack.

If you are traveling above treeline, especially on steep northerly-facing slopes, there is a chance you could trigger a small avalanche where you find drifted snow resting on older snow. Avoid areas of drifted snow where it feels harder than other areas and is continuous across a steep gully feature or slope.
