Avalanche danger remains a concern around Colorado Friday and this weekend, with the highest danger in the Vail and Summit County zone and the Front Range zone, which runs from the Wyoming border south through Loveland Pass and into the Pikes Peak area.
In backcountry areas across the United States, from Alaska to Colorado to New Hampshire, hundreds of avalanches rumbled down mountains in early February, ending in the most deadly week for avalanches in more than a century.
