The Colorado Avalanche Information Center has issued a special avalanche advisory for the mountains through the Maring Luther King, Jr. weekend.
According to the Center, most of the state is under considerable avalanche danger. Heavy snow will fall in the mountains where up to 2 feet is expected through Monday, Jan. 15th.
Very dangerous avalanche conditions will develop in some regions, with the most dangerous conditions developing Saturday afternoon and into Sunday. Avalanche conditions will be more dangerous than we’ve experienced in weeks. Adjust your weekend plans accordingly and check the forecast frequently for changing conditions.
Backcountry travelers triggered relatively small avalanches near Monarch Pass on Wednesday, Jan. 10th. These avalanches will get much more dangerous on Thursday, Jan. 11th. Easterly-facing slopes that are catching drifted snow are the most dangerous.
