Statement


The Colorado Avalanche Information Center is issuing a Special Avalanche Statement for the mountains of Colorado this morning. This Special Statement will remain in effect through the upcoming weekend.
There have been two avalanche fatalities in Colorado since February 13th. This brings avalanche fatalities to 6 for the season.
Over the last week seven people have been caught in avalanches. Two people have been seriously injured and required hospital care.
Very large avalanches have been reported across the state.
This trend is expected to continue through the holiday weekend.
Do not let the upcoming holiday weekend or the nice weather in any way fool you into thinking the avalanche conditions are anything but very serious across Colorado.

Thanks Bean since planning to go on some sleds for first time Sunday.



Outside of a horse is good for the inside of a man.

I don't know if there's enough Snow in Utah this year to have an Avalanche?

Bess, the shallow snowpack is the whole problem. When it is shallow it much more prone to developing weak layers that make for unstable snow. A deep and fresh snowpack is almost always more stable, certainly it is more predictable.
