So in this area, it&#8217;s considerable avalanche danger, which is level three out of five, particularly on north- and east-facing slopes and on large open slopes just below ridgelines,&#8221; said Lazar.<\/p>\n<p>He says the warm winter combined with sudden snowfall can make avalanches more likely.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anytime we have a break in the snowfall, or we have these long dry periods or droughts, we develop weak layers on the surface of the snow pack. Then those weak layers get buried by subsequent snowfall, like what happened starting late last week, and those weak layers are so fragile because of how long our drought periods have been that they cannot handle much of a load at all, and so they&#8217;re failing every time we load them. And that&#8217;s exactly what happened this weekend,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/08\/4912c771-796c-44a2-b9dd-d193b51067d8\/thumbnail\/620x816\/ed421407760875381e80bb35ba463c42\/colorado-avalanche-danger-march-8-2026.png#\" alt=\"colorado-avalanche-danger-march-8-2026.png \" height=\"816\" width=\"620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2026\/03\/08\/4912c771-796c-44a2-b9dd-d193b51067d8\/thumbnail\/620x816\/ed421407760875381e80bb35ba463c42\/colorado-avalanche-danger-march-8-2026.png 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\"\/><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Colorado Avalanche Information Center<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lazar said dedicated ski areas with ski patrols and snow safety teams have a much lower risk of avalanches. But the backcountry doesn&#8217;t have the same level of mitigation, and skiers and boarders there face very different conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No one is doing that work in the back country. And so it is just Mother Nature&#8217;s conditions as she presents them. And so it&#8217;s as soon as you cross the rope line at a ski area, you are in the backcountry,&#8221; he warned. &#8220;Doesn&#8217;t matter if you can see chair lifts. It doesn&#8217;t matter if you can see a road. If you&#8217;re not inside a boundary, no one is doing avalanche mitigation work to reduce that threat.&#8221; \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!--
