An Avalanche Watch is in effect for the Front Range mountains, including Rocky Mountain National Park and the Indian Peaks Wilderness. Heavy snowfall and strong wind will create very dangerous avalanche conditions beginning Saturday evening and lasting through Monday. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended during this time.
Backcountry travelers can easily trigger avalanches on steep slopes with recently wind-drifted snow. The strong winds may form drifts farther below ridgelines than you expect and on open slopes below treeline. On Saturday, choose wind-sheltered slopes or ones less than 30 degrees in steepness.
