Mountain Meteorology Workshop: September 24-26, 2021 at CMC Leadville
The Colorado Mountain College Avalanche Science Program, in collaboration with the Colorado Avalanche Information Center - CAIC, is offering a Mountain Meteorology Workshop this fall. This three-day course is open to the public and designed for avalanche practitioners and avid recreationalists. Please click here to register and for more information.
Avalanches are possible any time you find snow on steep slopes in Colorado. Although accidents are less likely in the summer, there have been fatal accidents every month of the year. You can get general information about Spring and Summer Avalanche safety here. Our next scheduled update is November 1, 2021. We will continue to monitor snowpack and weather conditions through the summer, and will issue updates if we anticipate unusually dangerous avalanche conditions before then. Thanks for another great season. We will see you again in Fall 2021! Have a safe and enjoyable summer!
