The sheriff’s office had warned about dangerous conditions on Saturday.
The folks at the CO AVALANCHE Info Center are saying that conditions in the backcountry are dangerous. It’d be one thing if your neighbor said it, but these guys do it for a living. Please listen! Dangerous, peligroso, dangereux, gefährlich. Need we say more? #LiveToSkiAnotherDay https://t.co/WExKQEMQFE
