Front Range

Generally safe avalanche conditions exist. Beneath wind-swept ridgelines, you might encounter isolated drifts up to a foot deep. Watch out for these pockets of wind-drifted snow below ridgelines and in cross-loaded gullies. Avoid drifted snow that looks pillowy, firm, and cracks underneath you.

With colder temperatures in the forecast, wet avalanche issues shouldn't be a problem. However, if you find yourself punching through a hard crust into wet snow grains below, then choose less-steep slopes.
