Avalanche Summary

An Avalanche Watch is in effect for the Front Range mountains and Pikes Peak. Heavy snow and strong winds will create very dangerous avalanche conditions beginning Wednesday night and lasting through Friday morning. Avalanches will break wide across terrain features and run long distances. Many will run naturally. Travel in avalanche terrain is not recommended.

Easterly and northerly facing slopes with wind-drifted pillows are the most dangerous slopes. In shallow areas of the slope, you may still be able to trigger an avalanche on deeper weak layers. Sticking to smooth planar slopes with a consistently deep snowpack will reduce your chances of triggering a deep slide. Lower-angle slopes offer safer travel.
