Front Range

There is still a chance you can trigger an avalanche on weak layers buried several feet below the snow surface. Spots where you could trigger one may look like rounded pillows of wind-drifted snow. You could get well onto the slab before it breaks above you. If you find firm-hollow snow, see big drifted whales, or avoid it and seek out different aspects or lower-angle terrain. On shallow slopes with lots of rocks you may still trigger an avalanche at the ground.

Look for roller balls and point-release avalanches as the day warms. These could get deeper and sheet off crusts in the upper snowpack. Gully walls and slopes with lots of exposed rock will be the first places to start shedding snow. Even small wet slides are heavy and hard to escape. Use extra caution in consequential terrain. If you start sinking into wet snow, move to cooler aspects and consider your egress slopes back to the trailhead.
