The Snow Left Behind

The latest cold front to roll through Colorado brought a blast of cooler temperatures to the Front Range, but the snowfall was mostly confined to the high country. Many spots in the mountains woke-up Friday to heavy snowfall. Some of the higher totals include:

• 11 inches: Vail
• 9 inches: Breckenridge
• 8 inches: Crested Butte
• 7 inches: Ski Cooper
• 6 inches: Winter Park

These heavy snow totals have extended an Avalanche Watch for the high country. Back country hiking and skiing is not recommended according to the Colorado Avalanche Information Center. Both natural and human avalanches will be triggered easily.
