Avalanches In Rocky Mountain National Park

Human-triggered avalanches rocked steep terrain in Rocky Mountain National Park over the weekend. These avalanches serve as a good reminder that although the avalanche danger rating is “moderate,” heightened avalanche conditions can still exist on specific terrain features. Snowfall prior to the weekend, wind slab formation, and warming temps increased the potential for avalanche activity.
