Hazardous Avalanche Condtions: Heavy snowfall and strong winds mean the avalanche danger rose rapidly overnight. Avalanche Warnings and Special Avalanche advisories are in effect across most of Colorado. Very dangerous avalanche conditions exist throughout the day Saturday and into Sunday. You can very easily trigger avalanches large enough to bury you, and some will release spontaneously. Avoid travel in or near avalanche terrain during this period.#COAvalancheInfo
