Colorado’s snowpack is whack.
When you hear a *crack*,
better turn your ass back.
Wind blows, snow flows.
See that cornice grow?
Time to route veto
One hundred percent of Colorado’s snowpack is unstable. The Continental snowpack, found in the eastern front of the Rocky Mountains, is shallow, fluffy and faceted, and contains weak layers of snow that sick around longer. It’s much more dangerous that the Intermountain and Maritime snowpacks that extend West of the Rockies to the Pacific coast.
Cracking and “whumpfing” -- the sound of snow collapsing -- are audible signs of instability and mean GTFO now.
Cornices are overhanging masses of wind-blown snow over sharp terrain features, like ridges, that range from small, soft lips to large, hard 30-ft. overhangs. Cornices, even when walking above, should be avoided by a significant distance.
Check your local weather avalanche conditions before venturing out into the backcountry.

Continuing ambassador @tele_madi #instagram takeover! //At night in the yurt I would break out the journal and ask everyone what their happy thought was for the day. It is a tradition from my old summer camp, @coppercreek_camp, that I still use in my daily journaling. I think taking a moment to reflect on your happiest moment of the day is important because by going through your thoughts on the day, you relive it and have the chance to realize just how precious and pretty rad the lives we lead are. When I’m in a group setting like I was on this trip, I like to go back and see what funny moments or peaceful experiences were shared between the group or that person and nature. // #sisterhoodofshred #happythoughts #writing #yurtlife #avalancheawareness @BellLakeYurt @HiLineDesigns @melanzana_leadville Photo: @colleenwinn__
Tele goddess ambassador @tele_madi taking over our instagram this week! //Shoutout to @colleenwinn__ for staying up late and getting this night exposure of the yurt! The second night the clouds started to part and we woke up that third day to the most blue sky, no wind, and crisp air. We could see what was around us...the basin was huge and the possible lines were endless. Endless of course, if the snowpack is stable and the Tobacco Root mountains get just a little bit more snow.// #nature #sisterhoodofshred #nightexposure #yurtlife #avalancheawareness @BellLakeYurt Photo: @colleenwinn__
