I dug the one for Flattop out on Thursday...lots of reports of triggered slides over the weekend all over the FR. Don't let your guard down.

Record Snowpacks Could Threaten Western States

In Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado, plow operators are dealing with some of the deepest snow seen in years. Above, 23 feet of snow on Trail Ridge Road.

Ya, runoff will be big this year with 90 Snotel sites recording their highest snowpack totals and Colorado overall is at 160% above average.

All it takes is a quick/sudden warm up...
