With the snowstorm that recently swept across Colorado, the Colorado Avalanche Information Center (CAIC) has reported increased avalanche risk.

According to mapping from the CAIC, much of the central mountains and areas in northern Colorado have moderately dangerous avalanche conditions, meaning heightened avalanche conditions on specific terrain features. The map also shows that the Sangre de Cristo mountains have considerable dangerous avalanche conditions.

CAIC also shared in an Instagram post that they’d received the season’s first report of a remote-triggered avalanche. The avalanche occurred in the Ten Mile Range and was triggered from a distance on a northeast-facing slope, and is “great confirmation of the persistent avalanche problem in the Summit County area.”

“This data means we need to make a mental shift in our decision-making and route planning to consider what slopes we are connected to,” the caption reads. “Look at the terrain and maps to carefully plan your routes to avoid being on or under steep slopes on northerly and easterly aspects.”
