Avalanche Summary

Winds increase on Wednesday. These winds will drift snow into thick slabs on north through easterly slopes. Avalanches can run naturally during times of intense wind loading. Avalanches will be easy to trigger in drifted snow and some avalanches could step down to more deeply buried weak layers. Avoid steep slopes where you observe fresh drifting.

In places sheltered from the wind, you can trigger an avalanche that breaks on a weak layer of snow 2 to 3 feet deep. You are most likely to trigger an avalanche on this buried layer on northerly slopes.

On Sunday, February 11, a backcountry skier was caught and killed in an avalanche in the Anthracite Range, near the town of Crested Butte. The avalanche was triggered on a very steep north-facing slope at 11,200 feet. Our deepest condolences to the deceased skier's family, friends, and community.
