Show Notes
Colorados high country faces elevated avalanche risk due to heavy spring snow and strong winds. The Colorado Avalanche Information Center rates it level three out of five in central and southern mountains. Fresh slabs are primed to slide, and over a foot of new snow has accumulated since Wednesday. Forecasters advise backcountry travelers to avoid drifted areas and opt for sheltered, mellow terrain. Colder air tonight will firm up slopes, but northern mountains may see another eight to ten inches of dry snow by Saturday. Loose wet slides are possible in the afternoons as temps warm. Stay vigilant and adjust routes accordingly, checking the latest forecasts before venturing into the backcountry.
