Red Mountain Pass Snow Report

Avalanches are possible in the mountains of Colorado whenever you find snow on a steep slope. Consider the consequences of being caught in an avalanche before crossing any steep, snow-covered slopes, even in the spring and summer.

Start and end your day early to avoid wet snow avalanches. Steer clear of steep, rocky snow-covered terrain, especially if the snowpack does not freeze the night before. You can check current weather conditions, including overnight temperatures, on the CAIC Weather Station page.
