The Colorado Avalanche Information Center is reminding Coloradans to be careful in the high country this week after skiers triggered an avalanche Wednesday on Richmond Ridge, south of Aspen.
DENVER –
“Looking down, it doesn’t seem that steep… And those trees mean it’s safe, right?,” CAIC officials wrote, before explaining it can be easy to underestimate the current potential for avalanches. “Conditions are dangerous or very dangerous across most of our mountains. Avalanches can be triggered from a distance or low on the slope,” they wrote.
