Statementxx A potent spring storm will bring significant snow to the Colorado mountains from Wednesday night into Friday evening. Many mountain areas could see 1 to 3 feet of snow by Friday, with the highest totals in the Front Range. The storm will produce snowfall intensities of from 1 to 3 inches per hour at times. If this forecast verifies, backcountry travelers can expect a significant and rapid increase in avalanche hazard Wednesday night through Friday. Natural and human-triggered avalanches will be likely, and backcountry travelers will need to exercise caution on any steep slopes with more than 8 inches of new or wind-drifted snow.

The CAIC will issue statewide avalanche summaries Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday, or as conditions warrant, through the end of May. You can access their statewide summary from the forecasts dropdown on their website menu bar. Check their website and Twitter accounts for daily updates.
