A much needed snowstorm has hit the rockies, bringing champagne powder with totals of 14" at Aspen and Snowmass Mountains, and 19" at Silverton. The new snow has bumped the avalanche danger to CONSIDERABLE for most slopes except South and Southwest aspects below treeline. Things look good with snow in the forecast for much of the week ahead. So get out there and get some! And wear your armor, as the overall coverage is still shallow and hidden obstacles are likely.
