#CAICNMountainsMOD(2of5) The most alavanche-prone slopes are in the Mosquito and Sawatch Ranges. High-elevation slopes that face NW-N-E with wind drifted snow are the spots. Look for and avoid wind-buffed snow surfaces and pillowy drifts. colorado.gov/avalanche

#CAICNMountains LOW(1of5) The most avalanche-prone slopes are in the Flat Top and Mosquito mountains where you find the deepest snow. High-elevation slopes that face NW-N-E, with wind drifted snow are the spots to avoid. colorado.gov/avalanche

#CAICSmountains CON(3of5) You can trigger large avalanches at upper elevations where recent storm snow has formed connected slabs above a weak layer near the top of the snowpack. Lower elevations and wind-sheltered terrain provide safer travel options. conditions.colorado.gov/avalanche

#CAICNMountains MOD(2of5) The most dangerous conditions are in the Flat Top and Mosquito mountains where the deepest snow can be found. High-elevation slopes facing NW-N-E will be most dangerous where winds drift snow over patches of older firm snow. colorado.gov/avalanche
