Really hoping people heed the warnings and stay safe. Shit looks fucked out there. Also with all this snow it's going to be hard for people to resist the urge, but jesus. Hopefully all the natural slides taking out roads everywhere might be enough to get people to think twice.

Can someone translate this, I’m flying out to Keystome in 2 weeks and want to know what going on?

Froggy? Something about the roads are bad?

keystone was blasting inbounds runs on the frontside of dercum today, so yea they have plenty that can slide. That being said everywhere is being super cautious right now and anything that can slide all ready has slid, or its been blasted by patrol.

Its crazy that they opened up Whales Tail today, Loveland was very cautious opening the ridge today. Also there was an avalanche that ski patrol must have set off that had a crown of 20-30 feet right above one of the lifts. Pretty ominous

Pics don't do it justice and its entirely my estimate, I could be way off. It looks like the entire years snow pack slid, it went straight down to dirt.

Your gonna have snow to ski it’s just a historic snow year resulting in lots and lots of avalanches.
Just don’t duck ropes. Even if there’s tracks they might be doing avalanche work.
Colorado avalanche center pics are crazy.
