THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS TRANSMITTED AT THE REQUEST OF THE
COLORADO AVALANCHE INFORMATION CENTER.

...SPECIAL AVALANCHE ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 PM MONDAY...

*WHAT...New snow and strong winds are building thick slabs of 
snow over a recently buried weak layer creating unusually dangerous 
avalanche conditions. 

*WHERE...West Elk and Elk Mountains including the Ruby and Ragged 
Ranges

*WHEN...Through Monday evening

*IMPACTS...Large, dangerous avalanches are easy to trigger.
Avalanches will run naturally above treeline, and some can step
down to deeper weak layers resulting in a more destructive avalanche.

treeline. In other areas, cautious route-finding and conservative 
decision-making are essential to travel safely in the backcountry
on Sunday and Monday. You can find more detailed information at
