Front Range

Generally safe avalanche conditions. Beneath wind-swept ridgelines, you might encounter isolated drifts up to a foot deep. They may not bond well with the firm crusts below. With a decent freeze, 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. It may take a couple of nights of cold temperatures to penetrate a deeper freeze into the lower layers of the snowpack.
